Qi: Mobile charging empowered
Wireless charging of smartphones and other portable consumer devices has been transformed by Qi. Initially launched in 2010, there are over 9000 Qi Certified products in the market today, setting a new global benchmark for safety, efficiency and interoperability. Qi v2.0, the latest generation of the Qi standard, will take wireless charging to the next level and unify the concept under one global standard.
Certified for excellence
To be Qi Certified, products undergo rigorous testing for safety and interoperability in one of our independent authorized testing laboratories before being granted permission to use the Qi or Qi2 logo. Only Qi Certified products can display the Qi or Qi2 logo, a reassurance of safety and interoperability. In short, that your devices will work just as expected.
Introducing Qi2
More efficient, faster, more compatible
The Qi v2.0 standard will unify the wireless charging industry under one global standard, eliminating consumer confusion and enabling greater device interoperability. Foremost among the devices coming to market under the Qi v2.0 standard are those labeled Qi2. Qi2 devices feature Magnetic Power Profile technology which aligns devices and chargers perfectly for improved energy efficiency, faster charging, and easier usability. Qi2 products can be identified by a Qi2 logo on the device or packaging.
Sustainable
Worn out cables and broken charging ports are two of the most common quality issues with smartphones, requiring either new charging cables or new phones. Qi v2.0 is a wireless charging standard so there are no cables to wear out or mechanical stress on charging ports, reducing waste in landfills.
Future-ready
Qi2 with magnetic locking supports innovations such as AR/VR headsets and new accessories that magnetically attach to the back of a smartphone.
