Galaxy S24 Ultra selling Android 2024

A few hours ago, Samsung revealed the announcement date for the Galaxy S25 series. The company will unveil its next set of flagship smartphones including the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra on January 22, 2025, in San Jose, California. Now, a statement by Samsung to the WPC indicates that the Galaxy S25 series will feature the Qi2 wireless charging standard. This technology was already rumored and the company has now confirmed this by Samsung’s statement to WPC.

Samsung Galaxy S25 to support Qi2 Wireless Charging

Recently, the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) highlighted the benefits offered by Qi2 wireless charging and the expansion of the standard in a new press release. In the press release, the firm mentions a statement from two major Android handset members who have stated their Qi2 intentions for it: 

Out of two Android members, Samsung reads The exceptional Qi2 growth story will continue in 2025. You can expect to see Android devices supporting Qi2 from Samsung Galaxy devices in 2025.”

Although the statement doesn’t directly name the devices, it does say that Galaxy devices will support the new Qi2 wireless charging standard starting in 2025. Meanwhile, we assume the Samsung Galaxy S25 lineup will be the first to feature Qi2 charging as this is the premium series set to launch.

Samsung’s current flagship Galaxy phones and tablets, which also feature Qi charging, support charging speeds of up to 15W without connecting the device to a port or cable. Now, the upgraded version, Qi2 charging, brings some significant improvements, including faster charging speeds of up to 25W. Notably, it also has magnets that let you attach any compatible accessories to the device.

Google words on Qi2 charging:

“Google is committed to the Qi2 wireless charging standard and increasing the penetration of Qi2 into Android handsets and other devices. Google is helping to achieve this goal by playing a leading role in the development of the upcoming Qi v2.2 standard, which includes Google’s contribution of its own high-power wireless charging technology to WPC.”

Samsung recently shared its revised software update plan for July 2025. Through this updated plan, Samsung has confirmed that three Galaxy devices, the  Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G are no longer eligible for software updates.

Now, Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G have been removed from the Biannual plan in July 2025. It means that Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G devices will no longer receive software updates as they have completed their update cycle.

The Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G were released in 2021. Since then, these three Galaxy devices have received three major Android updates, along with regular security patches. Now, after several years of support, Samsung is officially ending updates for these Galaxy devices.

So, what does this mean for these phone and tablet users? First, don’t worry, because your tablet will still work. Even though the Korean tech giant will no longer send out new Android versions or monthly security updates, your device will still receive Google Play system updates. These updates help keep your Galaxy device secure and let you continue using important apps like banking, social media, and video streaming.

If you want the newest features and latest Android updates, you might want to upgrade to a newer Galaxy phone and tablet. You can check tablets from the Galaxy Tab A10 series, the Tab S9 series, or the Galaxy A56 5G. These new Galaxy devices offer better performance, new features, and longer support.

However, if your current devices are working well and you’re happy with them, there’s no need to upgrade right away. The Galaxy Tab S7 FE, Galaxy F52 5G, and Galaxy A22 5G can still handle basic tasks like browsing the web, watching videos, or using social media.
