Default Qi2 wireless charging confusion resolved: No magnets, no logo

  • Recent online discussions have questioned whether the Qi2 wireless charging logo requires the device to contain magnets.
  • The debate arose after an outdated Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) document caused some confusion.
  • It has now been clarified that devices must have a Magnetic Power Profile to be Qi2-certified.

There’s recently been some confusion around Qi2 wireless charging. The debate was about whether a product could feature the official Qi2 logo without supporting the Magnetic Power Profile — one of the key upgrades introduced in the latest wireless charging standard. We can now dismiss any doubt and confirm that the Qi2 logo means there are magnets in the device.

There are various aspects of how the confusion arose, but Android Authority*contributor Mishaal Rahman clarified the situation succinctly in a*mea culpa post on X (formerly Twitter).*He acknowledged that earlier reports, including his own, suggested that products could bear the Qi2 logo even if they didn’t support magnetic charging. These claims were based on an outdated document from the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), which has since been removed.
