World’s first Qi2.2 wireless power bank unlocks 25W magnetic charging speeds

By Ian Bell Published July 16, 2025

UNGREEN QI2.2 Power Bank — UGREEN

Why it matters: As smartphones like the iPhone 16 and Galaxy S25 push charging speeds higher, Qi2‘s evolution to 2.2 promises up to 50W wireless power—cutting charge times and heat— but adoption has been sluggish, leaving users stuck with slower 15W Qi2 tech. This new power bank could kickstart the upgrade wave for on-the-go charging.

The news: UGREEN has come out with the world’s first Qi 2.2-certified wireless power bank, the MagFlow Magnetic Power Bank. This 10,000mAh beast delivers 25W magnetic wireless charging, a built-in USB-C cable for wired options, an extra USB-C port for multi-device juicing, and a slick side display for battery status. It’s backward-compatible with current Qi2 devices but shines with stronger magnets and efficiency tweaks for future-proofing.

What’s next: Expect the MagFlow to ship between now and October, timed perhaps with iPhone 17 rumors hinting at faster charging. More Qi 2.2 gear from UGREEN and rivals like Satechi is incoming, while Samsung explores full Qi2 magnet support for its Galaxy Qi2 cases—potentially unlocking 2.2 perks without phone hardware changes.

Go deeper: Qi2, inspired by over 300 firms since its CES 2023 debut, brings MagSafe-style snapping to Android too, but true support remains rare—only the HMD Skyline nails it fully, with Google and Samsung lagging on built-in magnets. As Qi2.2 rolls out, watch for Pixel 10 and OnePlus 13 to join the fast-charge club, though prices for the MagFlow are TBD—stay plugged in for reviews as it hits shelves.

T-Mobile’s new financing plan sounds great until you realize what it’s preparing you for

T-Mobile's new financing plan smooths upfront costs while longer payments become the norm.

Every time a carrier says "no upfront cost," I brace myself for the asterisk buried in the fine print. T-Mobile's newest 36-month financing plan has one too, though it's dressed up quite nicely.

T-Mobile, the second largest wireless carrier in the United States, just rolled out a financing option called EIP Flex 36. As the name suggests, it stretches device payments across three full years instead of the usual two. The real hook, however, is what it lets you skip at checkout.

The OnePlus 16 could crank things up with a 200MP camera and a massive battery

The purported flagship could bring substantial upgrades across the board.

Two fresh OnePlus 16 leaks just landed within days of each other. Together, they point to a flagship that could outlast its competition with its massive battery, and one that ships with genuinely better camera hardware than the OnePlus 15.

So what's happening with the cameras?

RISION Magic Pro in action

If you've ever had to look for any sort of heat leaks or hot wires, chances are that you've probably used a dedicated handheld camera. But RISION has just launched a tiny new camera tool to make the job easier (and more pocketable). It reminds me of the InfiRay we checked out a while back.

RISION has introduced the Magic and Magic Pro, two compact thermal cameras that plug directly into supported USB-C phones, tablets, and Windows computers. Each module weighs 24 grams, draws power from the connected device, and requires no separate battery. Support covers compatible iPhones, Android devices, and Windows PCs.
