This is important because, while we MagSafe lovers have with MagSafe Android Phone Case Over the years, there has always been a warning that these matters cannot be worked on All MagSafe Products. With Qi2 Ready cases, you can rest assured knowing that they will work with Qi2 chargers.
It is worth noting that the latest flagship phone of OnePlus oneplus 13Is No However, OnePlus does sell a Qi2 ready phone a magnetic case to enable like qi2 Charging. This is the old way of adding magnetic charging to phones with basic Qi support, and it Desire Don't convert your phone to a Qi2 device. While it may feel similar, you may not enjoy faster charging speeds, it won't be as energy efficient, and it's not guaranteed to work with all Qi2 accessories. Golden says Qi2 ready phones have “special features built in” to enable proper Qi2 functionality when paired with a Qi2 ready case.
Sadly, the magnetic functionality disappears as soon as you remove these Qi2 ready cases from the phone. This may not be a problem for most people. Recent statistics are hard to find, but a 2023 YouGov survey found roughly 68 percent of Americans use phone casesAnd a 2017 study reported this number at 79 percentBut it stinks for those of us who don't like to use a case. Pour one for the case-less monsters.
I can remember dozens of times when I had to take off my iPhone case to connect a wireless microphone to a USB-C port or fit the phone on a gimbal. Removing the case didn't change anything because iPhones have magnets built-in, but it's something Desire Qi2 ready phones have an impact, and it's a disappointing limitation.
I think Qi2 ready phones are an acceptable solution in between. Considering it's cheaper than putting magnets in phones, I hope it makes sense More budget and midrange smartphones Can enjoy Qi2 capabilities.
Still, I worry that this will make things confusing for the average person. The new phones will support Qi but not Qi2, but they will have Qi2 ready cases to enable Qi2—my brain hurts just writing this. If they had native Qi2 support, magnetic charging would work with any Qi2 accessory all the time. Easy Peas.
The good news is that Samsung and Google have committed to releasing official Qi2 Android phones in 2025 Is On the way out, though, it seems strange that Samsung won't be able to launch it in its flagship smartphone series.
I'd (again) make do with a magnetic case, but for the love of God, can someone give me my magnetic Android already?
