Wireless charging is becoming an increasingly popular feature in tech gadgets. We no longer have to be plagued by tangled cables and charging wires that are too short to reach the couch. With wireless charging, we can power up more conveniently than ever before. The introduction of Qi2 is changing the wireless charging game, but what makes it different from Qi1?
In this blog, we explain what Qi2 wireless charging is, the benefits, which devices are compatible, and help you decide if it’s the right upgrade for you.
Qi2: The Latest Evolution in Wireless Charging
Qi2 is the latest evolution in Qi (pronounced chee) wireless charging. It uses electromagnetic fields to transfer energy from a charging pad or power bank to a compatible device. Following on from Qi1, it’s delivering even more power at even faster speeds. No one enjoys detangling cables and juggling between wires for different devices. But now, with wireless Qi2 charging, you can ditch the cables and embrace the magnets.
Power up your devices—whether they’re Android or Apple—without the hassle. Qi2’s fast charging makes it the perfect companion for anyone who works on the go, or simply wants to spend less time waiting for a full battery and more time doing things that matter. The tech world moves fast with Qi2.2 having been recently announced and boasting even faster speeds with up to 25W power.

Faster, Safer, and More Efficient: How Qi2 Improves Charging
Qi2 brings a ton of safety and efficiency improvements since Qi1. Qi2 wireless charging is bringing more convenience into our everyday lives, thanks to its 15W power—an impressive jump from Qi1’s 7.5W. But what does this mean for you? To start, it means significantly faster charge times, reduced downtime, and more stable power. Qi2 features precise communication protocols for better battery management—including improved temperature control—to keep your devices powered safely during longer cycles, without running the risk of overheating. Qi2 also has improved alignment, so you don’t have to worry about readjusting your devices and can instead enjoy smoother, reliable power.
Cross-Platform Compatibility: Bridging Android and iPhone Charging
Qi2 is bridging the gap between Android and iPhone. Qi2 wireless charging enables cross-platform compatibility by building on what Apple achieved with its MagSafe chargers and offering a universal charging solution. The Qi2 magnet is compatible with both Android and Apple devices, making it easier for users who aren’t brand-loyal and don’t want to use multiple charging accessories. By simplifying the user experience and eliminating the need for multiple chargers, power banks, and other accessories, Qi2 is leading the way and offering a solution that nearly everyone can utilize.
Device Readiness: Which Devices Support Qi2 and What It Means for You
Qi2 compatibility is growing among smartphones, with Apple paving the way with MagSafe. All iPhones 12 and newer are compatible with Qi2 charging, while many Android devices are being added to the list. Apple users have built-in magnets and can enjoy 15W stable wireless charging straight out of the box. Meanwhile, many Android devices are “Qi2 ready” and can use wireless charging by purchasing a magnetic phone case. Alternatively, you can use a device like the EcoFlow RAPID Mag Wireless Charging Station (3-in-1 Foldable), which allows you to power up to three devices simultaneously, including your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods.
Using Qi2 with EcoFlow RAPID Magnetic Power Bank
The EcoFlow RAPID Magnetic Power Bank (10,000mAh) is Qi-certified, providing cable-free, fast charging with ease. Follow these steps for using your Qi2 device with your EcoFlow Power Bank:
Certification: First and foremost, verify that your smartphone is Qi-certified. While the EcoFlow RAPID Magnetic Power Bank (10,000mAh) features Qi2-certified wireless charging, you’ll need to check your mobile phone's compatibility. You should be able to find this information on the product packaging, on the device itself, or in the manual.
Snap on the power bank: The EcoFlow RAPID Magnetic Power Bank (10,000mAh) features an ultra-strong 11N magnet ring that aligns with the one in your phone. It keeps your phone secure, and the built-in X-Cooling technology maintains a safe temperature while charging. To start charging, place the power bank onto the back of your phone. You should feel a ‘snap’ that lets you know the device is in place correctly.
Check the charging indicator: The power bank screen should light up and show you it’s working. It’ll display the current battery level, output, and the remaining charge time.
The EcoFlow RAPID Magnetic Power Bank (10,000mAh) continually monitors battery temperatures and maintains efficiency, allowing you to continue using your device even while it’s charging. The super-strong magnets mean the power bank will stay perfectly in place, so there’s no need for re-adjusting or any chance of a power drop due to poor alignment. You can even recharge the power bank itself while it’s charging your devices, so you’re always ready to go.
