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 13,000 Qi Certified products in the market today, setting a new global benchmark for safety, efficiency and interoperability. Qi v2.0, launched in 2023, and Qi v2.2.1, branded as Qi2 25W and launched in July, 2025, are taking wireless charging to the next level delivering fast, more convenient and more energy efficient wireless charging.
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
Introducing Qi2
Qi2 brought faster 15W charging to mobile devices certified for interoperability and safety. Qi2 devices feature magnetic attachment technology which aligns devices and chargers perfectly for improved energy efficiency, faster charging, and easier usability. Qi2 25W builds on the convenience and energy efficiency of Qi2 while delivering nearly 70% more charging power for faster charging. In fact, Qi2 25W can safely charge a smartphone battery from 0 to 50% in about 30 minutes.
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. Qi2 devices don’t have cables to wear out or create mechanical stress on charging ports, thus reducing electronic waste in landfills.
Future-ready
Qi2 and Qi2 25W with magnetic locking support innovations such as AR/VR headsets and new accessories that magnetically attach to the back of a smartphone.
