Qi2 25W Wireless Charging Officially Launches, With More Android Support Expected
The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has launched Qi2 25W based on Qi v2.2.1, moving the Qi2 ecosystem into a faster tier and linking performance expectations more tightly to certification and product availability.
What Launched
Qi2 25W, built on Qi v2.2.1, with the first wave of certified products and accessories entering the market.
What To Watch
How quickly Android devices adopt the faster tier, and how consistently certified accessories deliver speed without excess heat.
The update raises the ceiling from earlier Qi2 positioning and is framed as a step toward faster and more energy-efficient wireless charging. Industry coverage highlights that this is not only a specification milestone, but also a signal of a growing certification pipeline across accessory brands.
Certification matters because wireless charging has historically produced fragmented real-world outcomes. Alignment quality, thermal control, and device-accessory pairing can significantly change actual speed. A stronger certification push indicates the ecosystem is aiming for fewer "it depends" experiences and more repeatable performance.
Why The Headline Matters
Qi2 25W re-ignites the "wireless speed" conversation as USB-C fast charging has set high expectations for quick top-ups.
| What Is Changing | What Consumers Notice | What The Market Tracks |
|---|---|---|
| Qi2 moves into a faster tier | Faster wireless top-ups, when supported | How quickly devices and accessories certify for the tier |
| Certification becomes a stronger gate | More consistent outcomes across products | Certified product lists, launch waves, and compatibility claims |
| Thermal control stays central | Speed that does not collapse under heat | Accessory design choices that balance speed and temperature |
The next phase will be defined by device adoption and accessory availability. If more Android models join the Qi2 ecosystem at the 25W tier, wireless charging becomes a more competitive daily-use option, provided certified accessories deliver stable performance with controlled heat.
