Summary
- Qi2-certified phones all have magnets; no need to worry anymore about false rumors.
- Neodymium magnets for Qi2 charging are small, taking up little space compared to induction coils.
- Pressure applied to Android manufacturers can encourage magnetic compatibility with existing and future accessories.
Its not zero. HMD has launched a phone which is QI2 compatible and oneplus 13 also supports this standard
Okay so not exactly zero, but until a heavy hitter like Samsung won’t even consider, worldwide adoption is going to be low - their flagship just stuck with Qi 1, even though the standard existed for about two or three years at this point.
Samsung doesn’t bring hardware upgrades until 2-3years later. They have stagnated and become more like apple.
Its not easy to make changes quickly when you have to then produce hundreds of millions of them.
