what is a Qi phone? null

Qi isn't a phone, it's technology built into some newer phones that let it charge wirelessly on a charging pad like this one. My Note5 has Qi technology built in to it so I just place the phone on the charging pad and it starts charging. My wife's Galaxy S5 does not have QI built in so I had to purchase a separate piece that connects to the battery compartment to make it work with the charging pad.

It's not a Qi phone. Qi is the type of charger.

This is what the Samsung site states regarding Compatiblity: Qi-enabled smartphones. Samsung handsets include Galaxy S4, Galaxy S5, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Note edge (these require Wireless Charging Battery Covers, sold separately) as well as Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 active, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge+ and Galaxy Note5, which do not require additional charging battery covers The first list all require the expensive adapter. The S6's and Note 5 are the only ones that truly work with it.

Qi is a wireless charging standard. Some new phones (Note 5, S6) have wireless charging built into the phone.

Qi is a standard developed by the Wireless Power Consortium for inductive electrical power transfer over distances of up to 4cm.
