The new Qi2 charger by Zens is designed for users who lack the space for a charging pad and also prefer to avoid charging cables. This charger positions the Qi2 charging coil directly in front of your socket and is small enough to not obstruct adjacent sockets.
Compatibility and Charging Power
This device can magnetically hold Qi2-compatible gadgets and provide wireless charging at a maximum of 15 watts. As of now, only Apple iPhones starting from the iPhone 12 and the HMD Skyline are officially recognized as compatible with Qi2. Android phones that support Qi and are available with MagSafe cases, like the Google Pixel 9 Pro or Samsung Galaxy S24, can be charged too, but they will only receive 7.5 watts, which is the limit of the first-generation Qi standard.
Dual Charging Feature
An interesting feature is that the USB-C port is placed on the bottom of the Qi2 charger. This allows charging of devices through a cable at a power of up to 18 watts. Thus, you can charge two devices simultaneously without needing an additional charger. The charger is available in both white and black colors. Zens also points out that wireless charging is effective even when the smartphone is inside a case, provided the case is compatible with MagSafe or Qi2 and doesn't exceed 3 millimeters in thickness.
Pricing and Release Date
The EU version of the Zens Qi2 Wireless Charging Adapter is currently up for pre-order at the manufacturer’s online store for €49.99, with shipping expected to start on November 7.
