Xiaomi has unveiled its latest power accessory, the Xiaomi Magnetic Power Bank 2. This slim and portable battery pack is designed to support magnetic wireless charging. It is one of the first accessories on the market to be compatible with the Qi2 standard.

Qi2: The Next Generation of Magnetic Wireless Charging

The introduction of the MagSafe charging standard on iPhones has paved the way for the development of Qi2, a universal open standard for magnetic wireless charging. Currently, only the iPhone 13, iPhone 14, and iPhone 15 models support Qi2. It remains uncertain when other smartphone brands will adopt this new standard. However, accessory manufacturers have already begun to embrace it. Belkin, for instance, recently showcased a range of Qi2-compatible products at CES 2024.
