In an exciting development for smartphone enthusiasts, the Samsung Galaxy S25 series is set to adopt Qi 2 wireless charging, a game-changer that could rival Apple’s MagSafe technology.
Samsung, known for its flagship devices, has always supported 15W wireless charging through the Qi wireless standard, but this method had one major flaw — the need for perfect alignment between the phone and charging puck. Qi 2 aims to solve this problem and enhance wireless charging efficiency, bringing Samsung closer to the convenience Apple users have enjoyed for years.

Qi 2 Wireless Charging: A Major Upgrade for Samsung
Unlike the old Qi1 wireless charging standard, Qi 2 incorporates Magnetic Power Profiles — similar to the MagSafe technology that Apple has perfected. This innovative magnetic solution ensures that charging coils on both the phone and the wireless charger align perfectly, eliminating the need for users to manually adjust their device. This not only makes wireless charging more convenient but also boosts its overall efficiency.
Samsung’s decision to implement Qi 2 in the Galaxy S25 is a significant leap forward. While 50W wireless charging is becoming the new norm among Chinese brands, Samsung’s adoption of the Qi 2 standard will likely open doors to future improvements in charging speeds and capabilities.
Apple’s MagSafe vs. Samsung’s Qi 2
For years, MagSafe has been a standout feature on iPhones, offering users seamless, magnetic alignment for wireless charging. Now, with Qi 2, Samsung is catching up by offering a similar magnetic charging experience, while still adhering to 15W wireless charging speeds. However, there’s still the possibility that Samsung may combine Qi 2 technology with its current wireless charging speeds without upgrading to faster speeds.
The Future of Wireless Charging
As the demand for faster, more efficient wireless charging grows, the Qi 2 wireless charging technology could become a standard across flagship smartphones. With MagSafe-like technology now available for Samsung devices, the future of wireless charging looks more convenient and efficient than ever.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 series, with Qi 2 magnetic wireless charging, will provide users with a seamless and efficient charging experience, positioning the phone as a strong competitor in the growing market of advanced wireless charging solutions.
Stay Ahead of the Curve
Stay tuned for more updates on the Samsung Galaxy S25 and its Qi 2 wireless charging capabilities as we dive deeper into the tech specs and features that will define the next generation of flagship smartphones.
