Google Pixel 9 series mobile phones do not support the Qi2 wireless charging standard, and the official response is that 'Qi1 components are easier to obtain from the supply chain'

According to news on August 15, the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) launched the Qi2 wireless charging standard in April 2023. However, so far, only the HMD Skyline mobile phone in the Android camp supports this standard, although many people previously believed that Google’s Pixel 9 series mobile phones would support the Qi2 standard, but that's not the case.

A Google spokesperson responded to Android Authority today regarding the situation, claiming that the main reason why Google did not bring Qi2 standard support in the Pixel 9 series mobile phones is that Qi1 components are easier to obtain from the supply chain and "there is no practical benefit in switching to Qi2".

It is learned that although the current Google Pixel 9 / Pro / Pro XL mobile phone can get 23W wireless charging power through the Pixel Stand wireless charging pad, it can only get 12W charging speed on the Qi compatible charging pad. For comparison, Qi2 supports up to 15W wireless charging and also supports magnetic adsorption wireless charging function similar to Apple’s MagSafe.
