Qi2 wireless charging standard was officially announced in early 2023 during CES .

Qi2 was set to bring the simplicity and ease of use iPhone owners enjoy with MagSafe products.

The grand total of Android handsets that support Qi2 stands at one : the HMD Skyline .

Some phones like the Razr Plus and Pixel 9 Pro Fold will even stick magnetically to some Qi2 accessories.

Six months ago , our friends at CNET pondered why we had yet to see any Qi2 Android phones.

And as we’re nearing the end of the year , there’s still only a single model trying to spark hope that 2025 will be different.

Kudos to HMD for doing what Samsung , Google et al. couldn’t be bothered to figure out.
