The original Qi2 generation introduced magnetic alignment with up to 15W charging, while Qi v2.2.1 is branded Qi2 25W and extends the certified power class to 25W.
Qi v2.0 includes Magnetic Power Profile (MPP) and an Extended Power Profile (EPP) path; WPC associates MPP with the Qi2 logo while EPP products remain under the Qi mark.
WPC states that certified products can use the official Qi/Qi2 marks, and buyers can cross-check a product in the Wireless Power Consortium certified-product database.

WPC publishes distinct certification marks for Qi, Qi2, and Qi2 25W; buyers should match the mark and certified-product record to the capability they actually need.
Record the seller model, WPC-certified model, certification class, and receiving-device support before treating a marketplace listing as proof of Qi2 or Qi2 25W capability.
A wireless charger can advertise a higher Qi2 power class than a receiving device accepts; the end-to-end charging ceiling is constrained by the supported intersection, not the largest number on the charger.
