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.
I had a wireless charger melt a few years back cause I had a chunk of metal in my phone case.
Does this new standard include safety checks for stuff like that?
It was always supposed to. Unfortunately, not everyone does a great job of implementing standards.
