The Wireless Power Consortium announced at CES on Monday that more Android devices will use the MagSafe-based Qi2 charging standard in 2025. That doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll all have magnets, though;

This comes from the Wireless Power Consortium or WPC (via Engadget ), and has been a long time coming: Qi2 was originally announced back at CES 2023, but it's taken until CES 2025 for a substantial number of phones to get on board.

The Wireless Power Consortium has confirmed that upcoming Samsung Galaxy devices will adopt the faster Qi2 wireless charging standard.

The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has announced that Samsung and Google phones will receive Qi2 wireless charging support, the answer to Apple's MagSafe charging, in 2025.

Samsung confirms the first Galaxy phones with Qi2 support will launch in 2025. Google is working with the Wireless Power Consortium to develop Qi v.2.2 with its own fast-charging technology. The WPC is also introducing a "Qi2 Ready" branding that enables phones and accessories to deliver the Qi2 experience when paired together.

MagSafe for Android will finally happen as Samsung and Google confirm their commitment to Qi2 wireless charging

It's been two years since the Qi2 standard was first announced, and we're finally starting to see some movement on the hardware front. At CES 2025, the Wireless Power Consortium revealed that Qi2 is officially coming to Samsung Galaxy devices this year.
