Samsung Semiconductor has announced the development of a new chip that offers up to 50 watts of wireless charging for smartphones. The chip, codenamed S2MIW06, which supports the Qi 2.2 standard, can also work with magnetic chargers, ensuring maximum compatibility.

The S2MIW06 chip, which Samsung introduced for 50W wireless charging and magnetic chargers, has the Qi 2.2 standard

First of all, Samsung’s new S2MIW06 PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit) has been tested with hundreds of chargers, including charging pads that do not have Qi certification. The chip supports up to 50 watts of wireless charging instead of the 25 to 45 watts that Samsung smartphones currently support.

It also supports the Qi 2.2 standard. This standard offers 15 watts of charging with non-Samsung chargers, thanks to the Extended Power Profile (EPP). In addition, the chip is compatible with the Magnetic Power Profile (MPP) and supports magnetic chargers and other accessories.

It even provides a function similar to Apple’s MagSafe technology on the iPhone 16. The chip also has more customization space than its competitors, with 70KB of integrated flash storage. This can reduce the space used on the motherboards of devices by 15%, making reverse wireless charging more efficient. In addition, the firmware provides additional features to optimize the use of the device.

Which devices will this chip be used in?

Samsung has not yet confirmed which devices will feature the S2MIW06 chip. However, there are rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra will support the Qi2 standard. It is worth noting that the company has only confirmed that a Galaxy smartphone with Qi2 support will be released in 2025.

In short, with this new technology, Samsung plans to develop solutions that offer faster, more efficient and wide compatibility in wireless charging. Thanks to the Qi 2.2 standard, we can say that the wireless charging ecosystem will also expand.
