How to go wireless?
Wireless charging is all about simplicity: no more cables, no worn-out ports. Making the switch is easier than you might think, thanks to the global standard known as Qi. The name “Qi” (pronounced chee) comes from the Asian philosophy and means vital energy, an intangible flow of power. The Qi standard was developed in 2010 by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) in which over 600 companies (including Philips, Sanyo, Panasonic, Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, LG, and Zens) participate. Qi ensures that certified devices and chargers work seamlessly together, no matter the brand.
Qi vs Qi2: what's new?
Qi and Qi2 both support up to 15W wireless charging, but Qi2 takes the experience to the next level. It uses a magnetic ring to ensure perfect alignment between your device and charger, no more guessing or misplacing. This magnetic snap not only improves charging efficiency but also enables vertical and horizontal placement, ideal for features like StandBy mode. Qi2 builds on the universal compatibility of Qi but adds faster, more reliable performance and a smoother user experience, all while supporting both Apple and Android devices.
Why go wireless with Qi2?
To ensure seamless compatibility with your wireless charging devices, always use a Qi or Qi2 certified wireless charger. These chargers are safe, thoroughly tested, and certified to meet strict international standards. Choosing Qi2 means choosing the next evolution in wireless power:
- Faster, reliable 15W magnetic charging for all supported devices.
- Effortless alignment & placement: no more guessing where to drop your phone.
- Universal compatibility across brands like Apple, Samsung, Google, and more.
- Dual orientation flexibility: perfect for StandBy mode and vertical use..
- Cost-effective alternative to brand-specific solutions like MagSafe
Is your device compatible to go wireless?
A growing number of smartphones and devices now come with Qi wireless charging as standard, for example all iPhones from the 8 and newer. Qi2 is integrated into the latest generation of devices, including:
- iPhone models from 12 and newer, with built-in MagSafe rings for perfect alignment
- Samsung Galaxy S25, when paired with a magnetic case
- Qi-enabled device used with a Qi2 or MagSafe-compatible case (thinner than 3 mm)
