The Qi2 wi-fi charging normal has been crafted by the Wi-fi Energy Consortium (WPC) to interchange the primary Qi normal that was getting a bit lengthy within the tooth. The WPC pronounces Qi2 final 12 months, bringing concerning the Magnetic Energy Profile (MPP) as a solution to Apple’s homebrew MagSafe expertise that aids in aligning the coils with the respective charger or to significantly improve effectivity or connect an adjunct firmly.
Ice Universe: The S25 sequence will characteristic Qi2.

Nonetheless, we would not hold our hopes excessive for something however the minimal 15W Qi2 wi-fi charging speeds that the next-gen expertise helps from Samsung, with the one actual added worth being the magnetic alignment that will increase effectivity and retains temperatures in verify.
The Qi2 alignment differs from Apple’s MagSafe normal, so the equipment meant for one aren’t essentially appropriate with the opposite. If the rumor holds water ultimately, Samsung should launch its personal line of magnetic charging equipment for the Galaxy S25 sequence, and these might vary from MagSafe-style circumstances to wi-fi charging pucks and exterior battery packs.
Nonetheless, introducing the next-gen Qi2 wi-fi charging normal on its 2025 flagships will likely be a step in the proper course and can hopefully be a harbinger of upper charging speeds to come back for the Galaxy S line of telephones, wired or wi-fi, as what they provide now could be merely not sustainable within the longer run.
