Someone else finally made an Android phone with Qi2 magnets

Key Points:

• Motorola has launched the Edge 70 Max, the first Android phone outside of Google's Pixel series to feature true Qi2 magnetic wireless charging support, offering 25W charging speeds under the Qi 2.2.1 standard.
• This marks a significant step for Android manufacturers, who have largely delayed adopting Qi2 magnets, unlike Apple's popular MagSafe technology on iPhones.
• The Edge 70 Max is a high-end device with a 6.82-inch QHD+ AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, a 7,100 mAh battery with 90W wired charging, and IP68/IP69 water resistance.
• Despite its advanced features and five years of security updates, the phone ships with Android 16 but promises only two OS updates, and it will not be released in the US, instead launching in the UK and other regions at £700.
• This launch ends the wait for broader Qi2 adoption in Android phones, potentially paving the way for more manufacturers to integrate magnetic wireless charging technology.
