• The WPC has now formally branded its new high-speed wireless charging system as Qi2 25W.
  • We just saw some of the first 25W-supporting accessories get their certifications.
  • The WPC says that “major Android smartphones” will be using the standard, but we’re still waiting to hear who will be involved.

Wireless charging on Android, for lack of a better word, is messy. Even though Android was early to the wireless charging party, Apple has since swooped in to show everyone how to do things with its effortless MagSafe system. Meanwhile, on the Android side of the fence we’re often stuck using add-on MagSafe cases or adapters, and while some manufacturers do offer their own high-speed wireless solutions, those tend to be proprietary and awkward to use in their own right. Surely there’s a better approach to be made?

Today we get a glimmer of hope along that line, as the Wireless Power Consortium shares word of its latest charging standard: Qi2 25W.
