Next-Gen Qi2 25W Wireless Charging Rolls Out, Promising Faster Power for iPhones and Androids
The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) is rolling out its latest wireless charging standard, Qi2 25W, promising a significant boost in power delivery for upcoming iPhones and major Android smartphones. This new iteration, replacing the previous Qi2.2, brings a substantial 66 percent increase in charging speed over the existing Qi2 platform.
Qi2 25W delivers up to 25 watts of power to compatible devices, a marked improvement aimed at accelerating wireless charging adoption. While newer iPhones already utilize the Qi2 standard, the forthcoming integration of Qi2 25W is a welcome upgrade. For the Android ecosystem, however, this represents a potentially transformative development, as most Android devices have yet to receive Qi2 certification.
According to Paul Struhsaker, Executive Director of the WPC, “Qi2 25W’s remarkably fast and efficient wireless charging will encourage increased penetration of wireless charging usage and accelerate the adoption of the new standard.” The technology is already expanding beyond smartphones, with power banks and chargers receiving certification earlier this month. Hundreds of devices are currently in the queue for testing and official Qi2 25W certification, signaling a major shift in the wireless charging landscape.
