1️⃣ What is the wireless charging speed now?
At present, Samsung offers only a 15W wireless charging speed in its smartphones. This speed is considered very slow in today’s competitive market, especially when other brands have gone far ahead.
2️⃣ Qi 2.1 standard – limited to just magnetic alignment
Samsung has recently adopted the Qi 2.1 standard, but its only advantage is that it supports magnetic alignment (through cases like MagSafe). There is no speed improvement in this.
3️⃣ Qi 2.2 standard can bring a revolution in charging
The arrival of Qi 2.2 wireless charging standard will allow Samsung to offer wireless charging up to 50W. This technology can become the future of smartphone charging.
4️⃣ Apple is ready to take the lead again
This time too, Apple is in the race ahead of other brands. The company is working on two new wireless charging devices, which will support the Qi 2.2 standard and will be able to charge up to 45W.
5️⃣ NCC certification leaked Apple chargers
Photos of Apple’s Qi 2.2 chargers have been seen on Taiwan’s NCC certification website, which makes it clear that the launch is now very close.
6️⃣ Qi 2.2 will be launched with the iPhone 17 series
Apple will likely launch its Qi 2.2 wireless charging devices with the iPhone 17 series in the third quarter of 2025.
7️⃣ Samsung’s new S2MIW06 chip can change the game
Samsung’s System LSI unit has developed a new S2MIW06 wireless charging chip, which supports wireless charging up to 50W.
8️⃣ Support for two-way charging, i.e., Reverse Wireless Charging
This chip will not only charge the device, but can also charge from another device. That is, it supports both transmit and receive.
9️⃣ Google is also not behind, working on Qi 2.2
Google is also busy preparing for Qi 2.2 so that fast wireless charging can be made standard in the Android ecosystem as well.
🔟 Galaxy S26 can change Samsung’s fortunes
If Samsung launches its next flagship phone Galaxy S26, with Qi 2.2 support and 50W charging, then it can be its strong comeback in the market again.
