Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S25 series has sparked discussions after reports suggested that the phones will feature Qi2 wireless charging, according to insider Ice Universe.
Here’s what this could mean for the new flagship lineup.
Qi2 Charging Profiles
The Qi2 standard includes two key profiles:
- Extended Power Profile (EPP): 15W wireless charging without magnetic alignment.
- Magnetic Power Profile (MPP): 15W charging with magnets to aid alignment and attachment, similar to Apple’s MagSafe.
Samsung’s approach remains unclear. Will it adopt the full Qi2 Magnetic Power Profile, follow Oppo’s magnet-based accessories approach, or take another direction altogether?
Samsung’s Competition
- HMD Skyline: The first Android phone with Qi2 MPP compatibility.
- Oppo and OnePlus: Both brands use magnet-based accessories, but these rely on proprietary standards like “MagVOOC,” not Qi2.
What to Expect
If the Galaxy S25 trio offers true Qi2 MPP compatibility, it could unlock a wide range of third-party accessories and enhance the wireless charging experience.
However, Samsung may also stick with non-magnetic Qi2 implementations or rely on cases with embedded magnets.
As wireless charging evolves, Samsung’s decisions with the S25 lineup could set the tone for Android flagships in 2025.
Whether Qi2 MPP becomes a standard feature remains to be seen, but for now, fans are eager to see what Samsung unveils.
