Qi2 wireless charging specification has been originally announced back in early 2023. However, since then, Android phone makers have been slow to add Qi2 support to their latest devices. This makes finding a compatible phone quite difficult, which is a shame for anyone who's seen the plethora of accessories and power supplies iPhone owners have had for generations.
In addition to faster charging speeds (up to 15W or higher in later versions), Qi2 requires the inclusion of built-in magnets designed to make it easier to align and attach peripherals.
But what's even more frustrating about the slow rollout is that Apple member of the Wireless Energy Consortium (the governing body responsible for Qi2) and its MagSafe technology have been used to help define the specification and ensure Qi2-compatible add-ons work seamlessly, so there's no shortage of compatible peripherals.
However, to help you figure out which Android phones are officially equipped with Qi2, we've compiled a list of supported devices. (Note: Due to the complexity of the Chinese market, this list is primarily focused on gadgets available in North America and the EU.)
Android phones with Qi2:
That's it, seriously. At least for now.
However, by 2025 things will be better as Samsung has already committed to there are several “Qi2-enabled Android devices” this year. And with the upcoming Unpacked event scheduled for next weekeverything can change very soon.
Google also seems to have vowed to throw its hat into the ring. However, the situation is a little less specific: the company says it will play a “lead role in the development of the upcoming Qi v2.2 standard, which includes Google's contribution to its own high-power wireless charging technology in WPC.”
Looking to the future, with Mobile World Congress 2025 Starting March 3, we expect to see updates from even more major manufacturers.
As new Qi2 phones hit the market, we'll try to keep this list as up-to-date as possible. Or at least until the specification becomes a much more widespread standard.
