Samsung Collaborates With WPC For Qi 2.2 Fast Wireless Charging Standard




If Apple can work with the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) to make MagSafe universal via Qi2, Samsung can too. It was recently reported that the Qi 2.2 wireless charging standard will be developed by Samsung and the WPC.


To make this charging technology a success, the new S2MIW06 chip was developed to support charging with 50W power. This is more than 3x faster than the 15W that is usually supported on Samsung devices. This chip is not limited to the Qi 2.2 standard or Samsung devices only, but also supports the Baseline Power Profile (BPP) for 5W power, Extended Power Profile (EPP) for 15W, and also Magnetic Power Profile (MPP) for MagSafe-like support.


Samsung has also been reported to have long tested the capabilities of this chip on various types of chargers. The Galaxy S25 series is said to not support Qi 2.2 or built-in magnetic support, but it will support Qi2 through Qi2 Ready accessories. This means that the Galaxy S25 will only support wireless charging up to 15W.


However, Samsung is believed to be selling various chargers with the S2MIW06 chip first. In addition, it will also sell various types of protective frames with Qi2 Ready. Coming in the future, perhaps the Galaxy S26 will support built-in magnets in the device for 50W wireless charging support.


In the Malaysian market, devices with Qi2 + MPP are only limited to iPhone 12 and above for 15W to 25W wireless charging. While Qi2 is only limited to HMD Skyline devices and other fast wireless charging is a type of its own by Oppo, OnePlus, vivo and Honor.
