Android phones with faster wireless charging support will be available soon in the market. Qi2 charging standard has been announced this week which brings improved charging speed in the wireless mode that Android manufacturers as well as Apple can adopt for their devices. The current Qi charging speeds have been capped at 15W and that has been the case for a few years.

Now, the charging entity behind Qi2 is upgrading the speeds to 25W and it seems the Google Pixel 10 series could be the first set of devices to get the new version.

Qi2 Wireless Speed Upgrade: Which Phones Will Get It?

Wireless Power Consortium, the body behind Qi charging standard, says, people are requesting faster wireless charging numbers and that’s where the Qi2 with 25W charging support looks to appeal to more users. Qi charging supports 15W speed since 2025 and it is high time the market gets improved charging support.

Wireless Charging Boost: Do We Need It?

Wireless charging has somehow gone into the background as the wired charging speeds have become potent enough to keep people happy. We have seen brands like OnePlus, Xiaomi and Oppo bring wireless chargers with speeds supported up to 80W that are limited to their own premium devices.

While the likes of Apple, Samsung and Google have stayed true to the WPC standards which makes the 15W speed limitation a big drawback for phones that cost well over Rs 1 lakh. Google could have the first dibs on the new Qi2 support with the Pixel 10 series launching next month. Apple could then upgrade its own iPhone 17 series models with the 25W wireless charging support when it launches in September.

The hype around wireless charging is not that high anymore, mostly because you have 120W wired charging support available with a host of smartphones. That’s not all, the new silicon carbon battery tech ensures you get higher density units that also can charge fast in the wired mode. So it will be interesting to see how Qi2 charging holds up and hopefully makes sure the devices don’t heat up in the process.
