The Samsung Galaxy S25 doesn't fully support Qi2 on its own

Last year, none of Samsung&#39;s phones offered support for Qi2 magnetic wireless charging. However, there was hope that would change after Samsung said it would launch compatible devices in 2025. Unfortunately, it seems the world&#39;s largest phone maker still isn&#39;t fully committed as the new Galaxy S25 line is said to be "Qi2 ready" instead of fully Qi2 compliant. So what does that actually mean?<br /> Similar to previous models, the Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra can charge wirelessly at up to 15 watts. That falls neatly within the Wireless Power Consortium&#39;s (the governing body in charge of the protocol) specifications for Qi2. But what the Galaxy S25 lacks in order to offer true compatibility are magnets inside the phone itself designed to help attach and align related peripherals. This is why Samsung says the S25 is merely "Qi2 ready" instead of 100 percent compliant.  <br /> That means if you want to use Qi2 accessories with the S25, you&#39;ll need to pair the phone with a supported case that provides a built-in magnetic mounting system (like the one pictured above), with Samsung saying there will be a range of first and third-party options available at launch.<br /> For people who always put their phone in a case, this might not be a big deal. You&#39;ll just want to make sure you buy one with magnets inside designed to work with other Qi2 peripherals. However, for people who prefer their phones to be caseless or simply want something a bit less bulky, there may fewer alternatives. Some manufacturers have created skins that come with included magnets to help out older phones that also lack full Qi2 support, so it&#39;s likely we&#39;ll see some variation of that for the S25. <br /> Sadly, despite claiming that the company would release devices with Qi2 support in 2025, Samsung hasn&#39;t fully delivered on that promise with the new S25 family, which makes things a bit more complicated than they ought to be. <br /> This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/the-samsung-galaxy-s25-doesnt-fully-support-qi2-on-its-own-180011574.html?src=rss
