Android users, starting with owners of the Google Pixel 10 series, are finally experiencing the beauty of native Qi2 and MagSafe support. The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL in particular supports Qi2 25W, a charging spec that offers faster wireless charging speeds. Whether you’re using Qi2 25W on a Pixel or Qi2 Ready 15W on a Samsung Galaxy, you can enjoy faster base wireless charging speeds than the older Qi standard, which only guaranteed 5W speeds (aside from some Qi chargers with an updated spec of 10 or 15W).
The faster speeds make wireless charging even more convenient, but they also amplify the drawbacks that come with using it in the first place. Wireless charging is less efficient, slower, and creates more heat than wired charging.
