Summary

  • Qi2 is a faster and more efficient wireless charging system which supports magnetic accessories such as power banks, car mounts and multi-device charging stands, however very few android phones currently support it.
  • The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and the OnePlus 13 are labelled as “Qi2 ready” but this refers only to their support of faster wireless charging and not necessarily magnetic accessories.
  • To use magnetic accessories, a compatible case with built-in magnets or “Qi2 certification” is required.
  • If a phone does not support Qi2, magnetic stickers can be added to the back of the device to enable use of Qi2 accessories.
  • Qi2 was originally designed as a modified version of Apple’s MagSafe feature.
