Folks, it finally happened. Someone other than Google has finally put Qi2 magnets in an Android phone with Motorola’s new Edge 70 Max.
Despite the popularity of Apple’s MagSafe on iPhone, Android manufacturers have been dragging their feet on the adoption of Qi2 over the past few years. Only a single mainstream series, Google’s Pixel 10, has adopted the standard thus far, with everyone else either blatantly ignoring it or using the “Qi2 Ready” shortcut – yes, I’m talking about you, Samsung.
We’ve asked the question multiple times at this point, why aren’t Android brands getting on board? When will someone, anyone else get on board?
Well, someone finally answered the latter.
Motorola has today launched its new Edge 70 Max, a step-down flagship powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (the same chip in Razr Fold), which is also its first with built-in Qi2 magnets.
