The Wireless Charging Consortium (WPC) recently announced the launch of its Qi 2.2 wireless charging standard, now officially named Qiv2.2.1 and branded as "Qi2 25W". This milestone not only marks the industry's first standard ensuring high-speed wireless charging interoperability, but also reveals that over a dozen devices have already obtained certification. The consortium plans to expand certification access to more manufacturers in the coming months.
1、Meet the "creator" of Qi standards-WPC (Wireless Charging Alliance)
The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), founded on December 17,2008, is the world's first organization dedicated to standardizing wireless charging technology. Its mission is to develop and promote open technical standards for wireless charging, ensuring compatibility across global devices. The core standard, known as Qi, is primarily used for smartphones and other portable electronic devices.
2、Three core features of Qi2 25W
1. Enhanced charging speed
Qi 2.2 supports higher power output, faster charging speeds, and prevents overheating. It improves power efficiency, thereby reducing energy consumption during charging. This means shorter wait times and more stable charging for supported devices.
2. Magnetic alignment
Built-in magnets help the device stay securely attached to the charger's optimal position. This design eliminates charging slowdowns or interruptions caused by misalignment. Additionally, it enables cross-platform compatibility for more reliable accessory connections.
3. Backward compatibility
Devices that support Qi 2.2 can still use older Qi and Qi2 chargers. While charging with older chargers or docks may be slightly slower, there's no need to replace all accessories immediately. Upgrading becomes easier and more affordable.
3. Qi 2.2 brings four major improvements to users
Qi 2.2 isn't just a tech upgrade. It delivers faster charging speeds, easier alignment, and better daily compatibility. Everything runs smoother and more efficiently than ever before.
1）Charge faster, wait less
Better power performance lets your devices charge faster and more reliably. It reduces the time you're tied to a charging pad. This is especially useful when you need quick charging during a busy day.
2）No more guesswork or worry about equipment misalignment
The magnetic alignment feature means you can connect correctly every time by simply placing the device down. Say goodbye to waking up to a low battery. It also prevents overheating and unnecessary power loss.
3） Better compatibility of accessories
With a more consistent magnetic design, accessories like brackets, bases, and even car mounts work more reliably. No longer do you have to struggle with placement. All accessories are cross-brand and platform compatible.
4） Future-oriented, compatible with old Qi and Qi2 chargers
The Qi 2.2 device remains compatible with older Qi and Qi2 chargers, so there's no need to discard existing equipment. While older chargers may be slower, they still work just fine. This makes the upgrade process easy and affordable.
