Ugreen has announced what it claims is nan “world’s first Qi2.2-certified powerfulness bank” that tin wireless complaint devices astatine speeds of up to 25W. Most wireless chargers successful nan US presently max retired astatine conscionable 15W of powerfulness delivery, but nan Ugreen MagFlow Magnetic Power Bank will push that to 25W, matching nan velocity of nan updated MagSafe charger Apple introduced alongside its iPhone 16 lineup past September.

The 10,000mAh MagFlow Magnetic Power Bank features a built-in USB-C charging cablegram that doubles arsenic a lanyard erstwhile not successful usage alternatively of retracting, an further USB-C larboard for charging aggregate devices astatine once, and a mini surface showing its remaining capacity. However, because nan Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has not yet finalized nan Qi2.2 standard, Ugreen hasn’t provided circumstantial specifications connected erstwhile its caller powerfulness slope will beryllium disposable speech from a Q3 2025 launch. The institution besides isn’t fresh to talk astir pricing yet.

Companies for illustration Apple and Google person recovered ways to push nan charging speeds of Qi2 devices and chargers good past 15W, but nan Qi2.2 modular is expected to summation speeds to arsenic overmuch arsenic 50W. 

We’ll spot really that compares to wired charging options erstwhile it’s really available, though, arsenic each charging rates thin to spell up and down passim a rhythm to protect nan instrumentality and its battery, and to forestall overheating. Other improvements coming pinch nan Qi2.2 modular see nan usage of stronger magnets to amended alignment and reliability, powerfulness output that tin dynamically adjust, and information features, including amended overseas entity detection.
