Android users can rejoice as the upcoming models will be getting their own version Apple's MagSafe charging technology, which will provide a major boost to the charging of the smartphones as many users constantly complain about it. The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) recently announced the Qi2 standard as a successor to the Qi technology, which had recently become the single unified wireless charging standard as of late. Highlights Android smartphones will now be getting their own variants of the MagSafe charging technology, which belongs to Apple, as the news was recently confirmed. Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) announced some time back that Qi charging technology will be getting a follow-up option in the form of Qi2. WPC Executive Director Paul Struhsaker has clarified that since everyone wants energy and efficiency in equal measure, Qi2 will come with a perfect alignment that will provide of both of them. Android Smartphones Soon to Get their Own Version of Apple MagSafe Charging Option The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) recently held an event where it announced the Qi2 standard for fireless devices as the proverbial follow-up to Qi, which in itself is the single unified wireless charging standard. Apple is one of the prominent members of WPC that provided the basis for the brand new Qi2 standard that builds on its MagSafe charging technology, which it hopes will directly prove beneficial to the Android ecosystem. WPC is confident that Qi2 will not only be a worthy successor to Qi but also prove to be a new version that matches Apple’s MagSafe charging technology, which is saying something as considering the popularity of Apple’s charging variants. Qi2 is set to come with a new Magnetic Power Profile that will align the charger with the device that will provide a major boost to energy and efficiency in equal measure so that manufacturers too will be able to crank up their charging speeds, although WPC has confirmed that Android devices will be supported by a 15 watt limit, just like MagSafe. “Energy efficiency and sustainability are on everyone’s minds these days,” says WPC executive director Paul Struhsaker. “Qi2’s perfect alignment improves energy efficiency by reducing the energy loss that can happen when the phone or the charger is not aligned. Just as important, Qi2 will greatly reduce the landfill waste associated with wired charger replacement due to plugs breaking and the stress placed on cords from daily connecting and disconnecting.” Although not confirmed, WPC hopes that the very first devices equipped with Qi2 wireless charging support will be available around 2023 holiday season, although currently it appears to be in testing phase, but if all goes out well, it may be available around Christmas 2023.
