VivaTech 2024: The Future of Wireless Charging with Qi2 Standard and MagSafe Innovations

Europe's leading tech and startup conference, VivaTech, brought many notable figureheads and companies under one roof. VivaTech 2024 occurred at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles between May 22 - May 25, 2024. Several of the tech giants at the conference included the likes of AMD, Microsoft, and Nvidia.

 

Some key speakers at the conference included Elon Musk, the founder of SpaceX, Robin Li, the CEO of Baidu, and Bernard Arnault, the chairman of LVMH. But one of the reasons this conference is so imperative is that it's the ultimate meeting spot for over 13,000 startups, investment funds, and venture capitalists (VCs).

 

While much of the focus was on artificial intelligence (AI) startups, there was still an emphasis on innovative devices. The Qi2 wireless charger excited attendees interested in superior charging technologies. At TVCMALL, we're also interested in technologies that improve the lives of our customers, so we'll dive deeper into the Qi2 standard below.

 

What You Should Know About The Qi2 Standard?

 

Due to the diversity of electronic gadgets available today, there was a need for a common standard surrounding charging devices. It was also crucial to offer a standard that guaranteed compatibility to make life easier for consumers.

For example, Android and Apple smartphone users use different chargers due to incompatibility issues. But that's costly and inconvenient when businesses and households widely use both platforms. Thus, a sensible solution is for manufacturers to offer charging devices not tied to a specific platform.

 

To solve this problem, the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) conceived the Qi2 standard or Qi v2.0. Several of the members of the WPC include the following companies:

 

● Apple

● Anker

● Google

● Huawei

● Ikea

● LG

● Samsung

● Sony

● Xiaomi

 

These WPC members introduced the Magnetic Power Profile (MPP) for the Qi2 standard. It's derived from the technology behind the innovative Apple MagSafe Charger. However, manufacturers that release official Qi2-branded charges must offer backward compatibility with the Qi standard that uses the Extended Power Profile (EPP).

 

But what is the difference between the MPP and the EPP? Apple played a leading role in the development of MPP, which closely follows the design philosophy behind MagSafe. One of the hallmarks of MagSafe is its fast charging capabilities, and we offer a 15W wireless charger that complies with the Qi2 protocol for your smartphones and earphones.

 

Why Is Qi2 MagSafe So Efficient?

 

Most users seldom place their devices in the perfect spot on a wireless charging device. The problem is that this results in inefficient and less-than-optimal charging speeds. But Qi2 technology features magnetic alignment by perfectly placing a ring of magnets within the charging device.

 

With a Qi2 charging device, it's no longer necessary to perfectly place your smartphone on the charger. So, even if you misalign your phone by a few degrees, there's no need to worry, as it will snap right in the center. This results in super-efficient and fast charging cycles all the time. But Qi2 chargers don't only charge smartphones but digital watches also, like the S26 10000mAh Power Bank Qi2 15W.

 

 

A Qi2 Wireless Charger For Multiple Use Cases

 

The Qi2 wireless charger is unique since it's aimed at a wide variety of charging use cases. Mobile devices, laptops, and wearables are all served by the highly versatile Qi2 protocol. Ultimately, the Qi2 charger offers a universal solution that leads to a better-organized and sustainable ecosystem for charging devices.

 

Since we know that the Qi2 protocol offers fast charging — isn't this detrimental to the health of your battery?

 

No, because Qi2 offers smart adaptive charging to ensure your device receives the right amount of electricity it requires. Therefore, you'll never overcharge your device or waste energy during the charging process. Consider the durable DUZZONA W18 Qi2 15W fast charger made from aluminum alloy to charge your devices from now on.

 

Key Differences Between Qi2 Wireless Charging and Standard Wireless Charging

 

Some differences between Qi2 and standard wireless charging are as follows:

 

 

1. For manufacturers to receive the Qi2 certificate, their charging devices must undergo stringent testing processes.

2. Apple Qi2 wireless chargers offer twice the charging power of standard alternatives. That applies to iPhones from the 13 to 15 series, but recently, Apple introduced Qi2 charging for the iPhone 12. Qi2 wireless charging reaches 15W, whereas standard wireless charging only reaches 7.5W.

3. Qi2 wireless charging is almost twice as fast as standard wireless charging.

4. During tests, it took approximately 2.5 hours to charge iPhones 13 to 15 with an efficiency rate of 75%. But a power adapter with 20W or higher is necessary for 15W fast charging.

 

Why Your Next Charger Should Follow The Qi2 Protocol

 

Qi2 technology is phenomenal since it introduces so many efficiencies that benefit consumers. TVCMALL stocks a wide range of Qi2 chargers and MagSafe-compatible phone cases for you and your customers.

 

By adopting technologies that offer efficiency and sustainability, we all grow and THRIVE!
