Earlier this week we heard a rumor that promised a big change in the way Android phones wirelessly charged. Reportedly, Samsung may be introducing Qi2 wireless charging on the Galaxy S25 when it launches early next year — making it the first major Android phone to offer the magnetic upgrade.
Qi2 is, to put it simply, an open version of Apple’s MagSafe. While not completely identical, they offer many of the same benefits compared to the long-standing first generation of Qi wireless charging — including the magnetic aspect. While Qi2 has struggled to take off in the two years since it was announced, adding it to the Samsung Galaxy S25 could give the feature the spotlight it needs to succeed.
