How does Wireless Charging work?
For those unfamiliar with the mechanics of wireless charging for smartphones, this section provides a concise overview. Inductive chargers, a mainstay in the market for several years, have encountered initial hurdles. Wireless charging, now a standard feature in smartphones, employs induction technology—akin to that of electronic toothbrushes—to transmit energy wirelessly over short distances using electromagnetic waves, thus supplying smartphones with power.
But what exactly constitutes a Qi-enabled mobile phone, and which phones support inductive charging? The subsequent sections address these queries. The market for wireless chargers adhering to the Qi standard has witnessed substantial growth over the past few years. Wireless charging has become a pervasive trend, even garnering support from iPhones.
Rather than relying on cable chargers, wireless charging offers the convenience of placing your device on a mobile charging station. Once the station detects a compatible device, it generates a small electromagnetic field a few millimeters above its charging surface. Upon placement, the exchange of inductive energy between the coils of the transmitter and receiver commences immediately. The receiver coil then directs a current directly to your smartphone’s battery, facilitating wireless charging.
What is the Qi Standard?
What does Qi stand for? Qi serves as a universal standard for wireless charging, developed by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) in 2008. It operates on the principle of induction, utilizing electromagnetic waves to wirelessly transfer energy over short distances. Induction chargers, also known as inductive chargers, are synonymous with Qi standard chargers. Qi has become the standard for smartphones and other small devices, firmly establishing itself in the realm of wireless charging.
The WPC boasts over 360 member companies, all adhering to the standards outlined by the Qi Certification Program. This program relies on a global network of independent, authorized test laboratories tasked with evaluating safety, interoperability, and functionality. These labs employ various testing procedures to assess these specific properties, with only Qi-certified devices permitted to bear the Qi logo.
The Qi standard prioritizes customer safety through measures such as foreign object detection and heat shielding. Independent laboratories testing non-certified products have recorded temperatures as high as 93 degrees Celsius, potentially leading to third-degree burns. Therefore, it’s crucial to ensure that Qi-compatible phones feature the WPC-authorized Qi logo.
How fast is Wireless Charging?
One of the primary advantages of Qi-enabled phones is their compatibility with all Qi chargers, regardless of the manufacturer. Wireless charging proves incredibly convenient, eliminating the need for cumbersome charging cables. Thanks to the Qi standard, Qi charging typically operates at power levels ranging from 5 to 15 watts, with Qi chargers being universally backward compatible. For insights into the best Qi chargers and their varying power levels, consult our smartphone descriptions.
Most modern smartphone models support the speedier Fast Wireless Charging, delivering power levels of 10 to 15 watts. However, the impact of this charging level on device performance varies depending on the manufacturer, necessitating a suitable Qi charger for optimal functionality. Presently, iPhones support power levels of 7.5, 12, or 15 watts when utilizing the MagSafe charger, while the Google Pixel 6 can achieve power levels of up to 23 watts. Manufacturers typically design wireless chargers adhering to the Qi standard to accommodate multiple power levels.
Although Qi technology entered the mass market in 2024, some smartphone manufacturers have embraced it earlier than others. Numerous smartphones currently available firmly espouse the Qi standard, as detailed in our ‘What is the Qi Standard?’ article.
Samsung’s Fast Wireless Charging:
- 15 watts: from Galaxy S20-series on / Galaxy Note 10+
- 12 watts: from Galaxy S10-series on
- 11 watts: Galaxy Note 10
- 9 watts: from S7-series on
Apple’s Fast Wireless Charging:
- 15 watts: from iPhone 12 on (incl. MagSafe)
- 12 watts: iPhone 13 mini / iPhone 12 mini
- 7.5 watts: from iPhone 8 on + iPhone SE
What Are Qi-enabled Phones?
Phones that support Qi charging utilize the Qi standard, with “Qi” translating to “life energy” in Chinese, for wireless charging either by default or via upgrade. These phones incorporate a Qi receiver coil, enabling the transfer of inductive energy. If you’re considering wireless charging for your mobile phone, it’s essential to confirm its compatibility with the Qi standard.
Most smartphones come equipped with built-in Qi compatibility, while older devices may necessitate manufacturer upgrades. Generally, most other mobile phones can be upgraded with a Qi adapter. You can find Qi-compatible and Qi-certified smartphone models in our mobile phone overview, including models designed for upgrades.
How Do You Add Inductive Charging Via Qi?
You can easily upgrade your mobile phone with Qi compatibility using special Qi charging pads if the back of your device lacks charging contacts specifically for Qi receivers. These charging pads, when attached to the back of your phone, connect to your device’s battery, enabling inductive charging.
Inductive charging facilitates the flow of energy from a Qi charger to your mobile device’s battery through a Qi receiver coil. Wireless charging cases offer an alternative to charging pads and sometimes feature additional built-in batteries.
How To Make Your Device Qi Compatible?
Devices that are Qi-certified and compatible come with built-in Qi receiver coils. However, older or non-compatible devices can still be converted into wireless charging phones by utilizing the Qi standard. Some smartphone models utilize specific charging contacts compatible with Qi receivers, while others require universal charging pads for wireless charging.
Current Mobile Phones With Wireless Charging
Our mobile phone list features the latest Qi-enabled phones at the top. Modern smartphone models, particularly those from Samsung (and more recently Apple), typically incorporate built-in Qi compatibility. Older phone models and adapters typically support power levels of five watts for wireless charging. Recent Apple iPhone models support power levels of up to 15 watts, while Samsung’s latest models support power levels of up to ten watts. The Google Pixel 6 boasts a power level of 23 watts!

Samsung Wireless Charging Phones
Interested in knowing which Samsung phones support contactless charging? Simply utilize the “Samsung filter” in the table above to find out.
While Nokia was technically the first to adopt Qi technology, Samsung is widely recognized as a pioneer in wireless charging. If you’re seeking to wirelessly charge your Samsung phone, you’re in luck: Samsung boasts the largest selection of Qi-compatible phones. Since the release of its Samsung Galaxy S6 model, the South Korean manufacturer has embraced the Qi charging standard and has introduced additional Qi chargers for subsequent model series. It’s no surprise that Samsung leads the market in Qi chargers.
Samsung recently launched its wireless “Galaxy Buds” Bluetooth headphones, further solidifying its position as a wireless charging pioneer. These headphones can be charged using any charging station and can even be charged by placing them on the back of the Galaxy S10. If you’re an Android smartphone user, some of the best Qi-charging phones can be found among Samsung devices listed above.
Wireless Charging for Apple iPhones
When it comes to smartphones, few names are as iconic as Apple. The Apple iPhone, renowned for its innovations in the mobile phone industry, adopted contactless charging relatively late according to the Qi standard. The iPhone 8 was the first model to embrace wireless charging using the Qi standard, followed by all subsequent models.
How To Upgrade Any Smartphone To Make It Qi Compatible
If your smartphone lacks wireless charging capabilities, you can easily add Qi compatibility to your device, even if the manufacturer didn’t include it.
You’ll need a universal wireless charging adapter featuring a micro-USB connection. Alternatively, you can find Qi sleeves and adapters designed for specific smartphone models. Additionally, you can purchase new back panels (for certain smartphone models) enabling contactless charging. Qi is likely to become a standard feature on most smartphones in the near future.
Conclusion on Qi-enabled Phones and Wireless Charging for Mobile Phones
Wireless charging, or Qi-enabled charging, is now a standard feature in most modern smartphone models from various manufacturers. Samsung and Apple are leading the charge, including wireless charging in their smartphone models.
Current Samsung smartphone models and newer iPhone models feature a faster “Fast Wireless Charging” standard, which is backward compatible with lower wireless charging power levels and older Qi chargers. Wireless or inductive charging is increasingly prevalent in everyday life and has gained renewed popularity thanks to Apple’s increased investment in Qi technology.
As smartphones become more powerful, the availability of energy is becoming a pressing issue. Wireless charging makes everyday smartphone use more convenient. Moreover, the growing ubiquity of wireless Qi charging has led to its increased recognition among mobile phone users, particularly in public spaces where Qi chargers are increasingly available.
In the near future, smartphones may be able to exchange energy—a concept known as “reverse wireless charging,” briefly mentioned in the Qi-compatible Phones List. While this concept offers promising possibilities, its current limitation lies in its slower 5-watt charging capability. Nonetheless, it remains a highly intriguing concept with immense potential, especially in emergencies.
Reverse wireless charging primarily targets smaller mobile devices utilizing inductive charging, such as smartwatches and Bluetooth headphones. One notable instance of reverse wireless charging is the Samsung Galaxy S10, which marked Samsung’s entry into reverse wireless charging technology. As of August 2022, Samsung’s Galaxy S22 Ultra is the latest model featuring reverse wireless charging technology according to the Qi standard. Manufacturers such as Belkin, Anker, and Zens, alongside Samsung and Apple, offer robust inductive chargers. We keep you updated on Wireless Charging here at Qi-Wireless-Charging.net.

wireless charging is a comfort-feature which is mostly added in premium smartphones, but also cheaper phones with wireless charging are existing.
the market is continously growing and qi standard is quite the contrary to a failing standard – most of latest high-end smartphones from well known manufacturers have it built-in by default and also offering own accessoires like qi chargers.
