Finland has plenty of things going for it.
It has breathtaking landscapes.

Its something that Android users have been waiting a long time for.
We wouldnt have been able to conceive of the possibility were it not for Finland.
There will likely be a Samsung-made magnet case, as9to5Googlecalls it.
Qi2 wireless charging includes magnets, which keep the connection hearty and stable.
Its been a long will they/wont they for Samsung fans wanting Qi2 charging.
That ultimately helped drive sales for theiPhone 15/15 Pro, which already supported it.
TheHMD Skyline, a repairable mid-tier phone, is the only Android machine with Qi2 charging offered outright.
Its also a great indicator of where we are with the Qi2 specification.
Apple could push through MagSafe with Qi2 capabilities as quickly as it did because of the whole owning-its-supply-chain thing.
Android has been slower in adopting it because the accessories arent yet marketed to its users.
Samsung is a big brandthe number one Android brand globally based on sales and reach.
Ive been stuck on third-party MagSafe accessories, which arent always the best options for the phone.
Sometimes, the magnets are so wonky the connection doesnt even work for wireless charging.
Id appreciate something more official in capacity than we have now.
Well find out soon enough whenSamsung officially announces the Galaxy S25.
News from the future, delivered to your present.
We still need to see it to believe it.
