The deluge of faster Qi2.2 wireless chargers is here
Yesterday Ugreen was the first company to announce it had a Qi2.2 wireless charging power bank on the way, but it wasn’t alone for long. The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has already certified eight Qi2.2 products, all from different manufacturers, including power banks, car mounts, and 3-in-1 stands.
Qi2.2 is the latest version of the Qi wireless charging standard. Qi2 was notable for introducing a magnetic ring to the design, helped by contributions to the standard from Apple based on its MagSafe charging tech. Qi2.2 makes the jump to 25W charging speeds, an improvement on Qi2’s 15W cap.
While the WPC lists Qi2.2 as having been introduced in April 2025, and Apple was reported to be working on a new MagSafe charger with Qi2.2 compatibility last month, no products using the standard have gone on sale yet. That’s set to change soon, with eight products now listed in the WPC’s product database with the latest Qi2.2.1 standard, all certified on July 15th.
Some of these have been officially announced, including Ugreen’s 10,000mAh MagFlow power bank. Baseus received certification for one power bank but says it has another on the way, along with a 3-in-1 charging stand. Belkin only announced that it will roll out “several” Qi2.2 products in the coming months, though its certification is for the UltraCharge Pro 3-in-1 charging dock.
Other certified companies haven’t yet made announcements. Anker is apparently set to expand its Prime series with a 3-in-1 Qi2.2 dock including a built-in display to monitor charging speeds, Aukey has a simple 2-in-1 charging stand on the way, and Scosche is readying a Qi2.2 version of its MagicMount Pro car mount. ODMs CVSMicro and BH EVS round out the set of eight with charging components to build into other products.
Qi2 was a welcome introduction, but adoption among phone manufacturers has been slow — while Apple includes Qi2 support on all current iPhones except the 16E, the HMD Skyline remains the only Android phone worldwide with full Qi2. Others, like the Samsung Galaxy S25 series, are “Qi2 Ready,” meaning they require a magnetic Qi2 phone case for full functionality. Hopefully Qi2.2’s arrival encourages more manufacturers to jump on board.
Correction, July 16th: An earlier version of this article referenced a leaked 45W Qi2.2 charger from Apple, but that refers to its rated input, not output.
