Tired of wireless charging hassles? Qi2 is about to change everything. It's like MagSafe for everyone, combining magnetic alignment with fast 15-watt charging that works across all brands. This isn't just Apple's show anymore – it's a global standard that'll make charging effortless whether you've got an iPhone or Android.
The Wireless Power Consortium has spent years perfecting this tech, and it's set to become the new normal by 2025. Expect better charging speeds, perfect alignment every time, and less electronic waste – that's what Qi2 brings to the table. Explore the future with our wireless collection.
Quick Fact: Qi2 wireless charging uses magnets for perfect alignment, delivering consistent, fast charging for both Apple and Android devices—no more fumbling for the “sweet spot.”
The New Wireless Charging Revolution: What Makes Qi2 Different
Qi2 is changing wireless charging for good, blending Apple’s MagSafe-style magnetic alignment with a universal standard. The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) is behind this push, and the upgrade is a big leap from the old 5W Qi standard we got back in 2010.
Magnetic Power Profile: The Real Game-Changer
The real innovation within Qi2 lies in its Magnetic Power Profile (MPP) technology. MPP snaps your device into just the right spot every time you set it down to charge. That keeps your phone or accessory perfectly centered, giving you safer, more efficient power transfer.
This method allows for faster and steadier charging, while eliminating common issues like misalignment or overheating—problems users frequently encountered with early wireless chargers.
Faster Charging Speeds
Qi2 delivers a consistent 15-watt charging speed—that’s three times faster than the original Qi’s 5W. There's no more waiting overnight for a full charge or struggling with incompatible cables. Whether you're charging your phone or earbuds, the speed improvement is easy to notice in daily use.
Cross-Device Consistency for All Users
Qi2 isn’t just about speed—it’s about consistency. Thanks to magnetic alignment, devices—regardless of whether they’re Android or iPhone—automatically lock into place and begin charging correctly. This ensures optimal power delivery across various devices.
- No more device-specific charger headaches
- True magnetic alignment to avoid overheating
- Improved experience for multi-device households
Future-Ready Design
With its sleek and modular structure, Qi2 integrates smoothly with today’s smart gadgets and looks to be future-proof for what’s coming next—smartwatches, AR glasses, and new wearable tech.
You’re not just enabling your devices today—you’re investing in a flexible ecosystem that will support tomorrow’s innovations.
Certified Products: What to Look For
To ensure maximum performance and safety, shop for Qi2-certified products. WPC-certified chargers undergo rigorous testing for both their magnetic strength and coil quality.
For example, the TE-WCHRGE-7 charging stand is purpose-built for Qi2 compatibility and offers a great entry point for users looking to upgrade with confidence.

Reliable Power, Every Time
With Qi2, you get rock-solid 15-watt charging—no interruptions. The magnetic lock keeps the coil lined up, so almost no energy slips away. That means you won’t see the slowdowns or random stops that happen with older pads. Doesn’t matter if you drop your phone on sideways or straight; it charges efficiently and stays cool—no more overheating from misaligned coils.
This tight alignment isn’t just about speed. It also saves energy, cutting back on waste that happens when your charger has to work harder than it should. If you’ve ever waited for ages on a standard pad, you’ll feel the difference that precise alignment brings right away.
The Snap-On Charging Experience
Qi2’s magnets give you that quick, satisfying ‘snap’ every time—charging just feels smarter:
- Your phone starts charging the moment it connects—no more squinting for a status light or waiting for a beep.
- You can use your phone in portrait or landscape and keep charging without interruptions.
- No more wear and tear from trying to find the charging 'sweet spot.'
- It’s effortless to connect, even in the dark or when you’re distracted—just let it click into place.
- Chargers get slimmer and sleeker, since your phone always lands right where it should.

From Apple-Only to Everyone: The Universal Standard
Qi2 finally bridges the gap between brands. It builds on Apple’s MagSafe tech but breaks down those Apple-only walls, so both Apple and Android users can count on easy, reliable wireless charging. With Qi2, you’re not stuck in a single ecosystem. Devices with original MagSafe—and even brand-new platforms—get the same support.
Samsung jumped on board quickly. The Galaxy S25 series is one of the first to use Qi2 right out of the box. As this Galaxy S25 wireless charging guide explains, these phones should hit up to 25W wireless charging speeds with Qi2. That’s faster than the old Qi standard or most other options.
Now, manufacturers finally have a single, clear path. Before Qi2, I always had to check if a charger would work with my phone, earbuds, or watch. Between weird magnet layouts and brand-only rules, it got old fast. Now, with approved Qi2 chargers—like the powerful TE-WCHRGE-3—I can relax knowing everything I own will charge, as long as it’s certified.
Qi2 brings a safe, consistent, and efficient experience. Here’s what this new universal standard delivers for both users and brands:
Top Benefits Delivered by Qi2’s Universal Standard
- Seamless cross-platform functionality: Forget the pile of brand-only gear. Qi2 means one charger works across Apple, Samsung, and the rest.
- Improved charging performance: Up to 25W on some phones gets you back to 100% faster. No more waiting around for your battery to crawl up.
- Future-ready integration: Whether you’re eyeing a flagship like the Galaxy S25 or sticking with your MagSafe iPhone, a Qi2 pad like the TE-WCHRGE-7 works for all.
- Simplified accessory shopping: Unified standards mean makers of the TE-WCHRGE-1 aren’t catering to just one device. You get more choices, less clutter.
With brands jumping in fast, wireless charging is getting as easy and automatic as plugging in a cable—without the mess.

1. What is Qi2 wireless charging, and how is it different from older wireless chargers?
Qi2 is the latest version of wireless charging technology. Unlike older chargers, it uses magnets to make sure your phone snaps perfectly into place, making charging easier and more reliable. With Qi2, you don't have to worry about finding the "sweet spot"—your device always aligns correctly for fast, efficient charging.
2. Will Qi2 wireless charging work with my current phone and charger?
Qi2 is designed to be widely compatible. It works with new Qi2-enabled devices and many existing devices that use Apple's MagSafe system. However, older phones may not fully benefit from the magnetic alignment unless they were designed for it. Qi2 chargers can still charge regular Qi-compatible devices, but without the perfect magnetic alignment feature.
3. How fast can Qi2 charge my device?
Qi2 can deliver up to 15 watts of power to your device, which is fast for wireless charging. Some phones, like the Samsung Galaxy S25, may even support higher speeds with special features, but 15 watts is the universal standard for Qi2 devices.
4. When will Qi2 chargers and phones be available for everyone?
Qi2 is already starting to appear in new devices from brands like Samsung, and the technology is expected to become much more common in 2025. By then, more phone models, power banks, and accessories will support Qi2, making it easier to find compatible products.
5. Does Qi2 help the environment in any way?
Yes, Qi2 is more energy efficient, which means less power is wasted when charging devices. It also encourages a single universal standard, so fewer types of chargers are needed. This can help reduce electronic waste from having so many different cables and charging pads.
6. Can Qi2 completely replace my USB-C charging cable?
Qi2 makes wireless charging easier and more reliable, but there may still be times when you need a cable, such as for very fast charging or data transfer. Qi2 is meant to make wireless charging more practical for everyday use, but cables won’t go away entirely just yet.
