Hey guys, Nuked here. I’ve got some exciting news for all you wireless charging enthusiasts out there!
The Qi2 wireless charging standard is set to mandate magnet strength, size, and dimensions in addition to its electrical properties. This is great news for those of us who have struggled with weak magnets causing our phone to slip and slide on the charger. Certification labs will reportedly be testing for these magnetic elements as part of the certification process. This means that we can expect a higher level of quality and consistency from future wireless chargers.
It’s worth noting that this development could also potentially lead to a future where Android phones and Apple phones can use the same wireless magnetic charger, effectively bringing MagSafe to Android devices. The Qi2 specification is expected to be finalized this summer, with devices arriving in time for the holiday season.
If you’re in need of a charger with some seriously strong magnets, I recommend checking out this magnetic ring grip from Anker. It’s what I use and it’s held up great. Happy charging!
