Motorola Edge 70 Max poised to outpace Samsung with full Qi2 charging

Motorola's upcoming Edge 70 Max appeared in the Wireless Power Consortium certification database, confirming the model name and native Qi2 support. The listing cites Qi2.2.1 compliance, which enables up to 25 W wireless charging under the latest standard. It also references a Magnetic Power Profile, suggesting built‑in alignment magnets rather than a case‑based solution. The certification was posted on July 20.

Google’s Pixel 10 series introduced full Qi2 functionality last year, becoming the first Android phones with both the charging protocol and integrated magnets. Samsung’s Galaxy S26 line only achieved “Qi2 Ready” status, lacking the magnetic component. Consumers have long awaited such integration. By potentially delivering the complete Qi2 experience before Samsung, Motorola could give Android users a seamless magnetic accessory ecosystem previously limited to iPhone’s MagSafe.

If the certification proves accurate, the Edge 70 Max would arrive with 25 W wireless charging and built‑in magnets, letting users snap MagSafe‑compatible chargers and cases directly to the chassis. This move would tighten Motorola’s grip on the premium Android market and force Samsung to reconsider its Qi2 strategy. Early reviews will likely focus on real‑world charging speed. The device’s specs hint at a meaningful shift in Android wireless charging standards.
