The Qi2 standard improves charging rates and reduces energy loss by enhancing alignment between devices and chargers, ensuring a more efficient wireless power transfer.
While the Google Pixel 9 lineup supports the older Qi standard, it falls short of the 15W charging capacity offered by Qi2, limiting fast charging options.
Google stated that the older Qi protocol was easier to source and that transitioning to Qi2 did not present any significant advantages for users.
As of now, HMD Skyline is the only Android smartphone fully utilizing Qi2, igniting hopes for future devices, particularly in the Pixel 10 series.
