Here's the first Qi2.2 wireless power bank with faster charging speeds and much more
If you are a power user, one of the most important tools you need to carry with you at all times is a power bank. With this accessory, you can go about the day carrying your phone, not worrying whether you will be consuming too much battery life by streaming an episode of House on your phone while taking the bus to work in the morning. Portable power banks can carry anywhere from a battery capacity of 5000mAh to as high as 35000mAh or more. The thing to remember is that the higher the capacity of your power bank, the more unwieldy it is. For example, I own power banks with 5000mAh battery capacity, and they fit in my pocket. A power bank with this capacity usually provides the user with one to two full charges, with the lower number more likely. I also have a 35000mAh power bank that will definitely provide me with multiple charges, but it is also the size of a brick, is very heavy, and is not pocketable.

With the latest Qi2.2 wireless charging standard announced by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), devices like power banks can now charge as fast as 50W in certain implementations. More likely, your charging speed with a Qi2.2 device will be 25W. That is a significant jump from the 15W charging speed available on the Qi and Qi2 standards. -UGREEN Difference between the first Qi standard and the latest. | Image credit-UGREEN Despite the faster charging speeds with Qi2.2, not too many devices offer it. Today, the world's first Qi2.2 power bank has been introduced. The UGREEN MagFlow Magnetic Power Bank carries 10000mAh in battery capacity and a 25W wireless charging speed. It is equipped with a built-in USB-C cable for those times when you want to charge with a wire, and an extra USB-C port in case you want to charge two devices at the same time. A display on the side of the power bank will tell you exactly how much battery life remains on it and whether you need to plug it in to replenish the power bank. The UGREEN MagFlow Magnetic Power Bank will be released sometime this fall with improved magnetic auto-alignment, 25W charging speed, temperature protection that prevents overheating, and more. Pricing remains unknown for now.

More Qi2.2 chargers are here, but here's why you should wait before buying one
Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority TL;DR More products have been launched with Qi2.2 certification, promising wireless charging speeds at up to 25W with compatible devices. However, very few current smartphones officially support Qi2.2, but more are coming soon. More Qi2.2-certified accessories are also expected in the run-up to the iPhone 17 series launch, which will help widen product choice and stabilize prices for this bleeding-edge tech. UGREEN recently launched the new MagFlow Magnetic Power Bank, which can wirelessly charge compatible devices up to 25W. This marked the first Qi2.2 product to launch for consumers, but it also brought the Qi2.2 charging specification back into the limelight. Now, even more products have surfaced with Qi2.2 support, but you should hold off on buying them just yet. The Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) introduced Qi2.2 in April 2025, but the specification and test specs are available for its members only. The latest publicly available Qi specification is Qi2.1, introduced in September 2024. However, Qi2 (Qi2.0) from April 2023 is the most well-known spec around as it introduced an Apple MagSafe-like magnetic accessory ecosystem beyond Apple products. As The Verge notes, the WPC has certified eight different Qi2.2 products across manufacturers since yesterday, including chargers, power banks, and even car mounts. You can check out the products at the WPC certified products page by filtering for version 2.2.1. Some of these listed products are already available to purchase/pre-order, but you shouldn't buy them just yet. For starters, very few phones in the market can officially take advantage of Qi2.2-based 25W wireless charging. The current iPhone 16 series (except 16e) should technically support Qi2.2, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. The iPhone 16 series (except 16e) is currently rated to wirelessly charge at up to 25W only with Apple's MagSafe charger, but Apple's contribution towards developing the standard gives us hope for wider compatibility, pending confirmation. The upcoming iPhone 17 series is also expected to support the Qi2.2 standard, but it hasn't been confirmed yet. For us Android fans, the grass is greener on the other side, as only the HMD Skyline supports Qi2. There's no confirmation yet that it supports Qi2.2, so there's a chance it won't be able to take advantage of the faster charging speeds. Phones like the Galaxy S25 series and OnePlus 13 are marketed as Qi2 Ready, requiring a case with Qi2-compatible magnetic rings for their Qi2 support, but they don't support Qi2 or Qi2.2 by themselves. Another reason not to jump onto the train is that new products with cutting-edge tech cost a lot of money. You most likely won't be able to take full advantage of the Qi2.2 standard immediately anyway, so it makes sense to hold off on your purchase while more products enter the market and prices drop and stabilize. We expect many more Qi2.2 products to launch closer to the iPhone 17 series launch, so wait a while before you buy these new chargers. Got a tip? Talk to us!
