• Samsung’s new power management chip will support wireless charging speeds up to 50W.
• The S2MIW06 chip aligns with the Qi2 standard, featuring magnetic alignment for faster and more reliable charging.
• The manufacturer is also working with the Wireless Power Consortium in the development of the Qi v.2.2 standard.

Wireless charging has come a long way, but the experience is still usually slower and less reliable than plugging in a cable. Samsung is making moves to enhance wireless charging with its latest power management chip, the S2MIW06. The manufacturer announced this alongside its work on Qi v2.2, the next industry standard from the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC).

According to a Samsung blog post reported by SamMobile, the S2MIW06 chip is designed to handle wireless charging at speeds of up to 50W — a significant leap from the 15W maximum on most current devices. It supports all major Qi profiles: Baseline Power Profile (BPP) for basic 5W charging, Extended Power Profile (EPP) for faster 15W charging, and Magnetic Power Profile (MPP), which is increasingly essential for precise alignment and efficient charging.
