Samsung half-assed the Galaxy S25's Qi2 support
Briefly

Samsung's new Galaxy S25 line features wireless charging capabilities aligned with Qi2 specifications but is only 'Qi2 ready' rather than fully compliant. This designation means that while the phones can charge at up to 15 watts, they do not include the necessary internal magnets for seamless accessory attachment. To utilize Qi2 accessories, users will need to purchase compatible cases containing magnetic mounts. This discrepancy raises concerns about Samsung's commitment to Qi2 support, as they have failed to fully deliver on their promises despite plans for future compatible devices.
Samsung's Galaxy S25 models are marketed as 'Qi2 ready' but lack built-in magnets required for full Qi2 compliance, complicating compatibility with Qi2 accessories.
The Galaxy S25 can charge wirelessly at 15 watts, meeting Qi2 specifications but requires a special case with magnets for true Qi2 accessory compatibility.
