Charge A Phone Wirelessly

Modern technology has progressed so much that it is getting hard for people to adapt to it rapidly.

There have been so many new product items and features that have been launched over the past decade such as advanced AI, smart robotics and wireless device charging.

Wireless charging was first made live in September 2012, when the Nokia 920 became the first smartphone with built-in wireless charging based on the Qi specification that was commercially available.

Since the introduction of wireless charging technology into the modern world the way people charge their devices has changed.

Key Insights:

  • The best wireless charging technology is Qi, which is the standard for most phones.
  • Qi is an open interface standard that defines wireless power transmission using inductive charging over distances of up to 4 cm (1.6 inches).

Qi (Standard), Wikipedia.

  • The standard is being used by 488 different manufacturers as of February 2020.
  • It is also the most common wireless charging method, but it is not the only option.

There are a few other options available but they generally are not as fast and do not work as well with all phones.

They are still worth considering if you have an Android device that supports one of these standards.

NFC (Near Field Communication) — This is the same standard used by credit cards and payment terminals at stores.

It uses radio waves to transmit power between compatible devices, allowing them to transfer energy at a distance of less than 1 foot.

Unfortunately, this technology is not widely available in phones for charging yet so you will probably want to stick with Qi for now.

Wireless charging pads — These are similar to how you would charge your phone when traveling overseas:

A charging pad is a small device that you can place on your desk, bedside table, or another flat surface near your bed so you can use it to charge your phone while you sleep.

You place your phone on top of a pad that magnetically attaches to your Samsung A21 device and then starts charging it wirelessly through induction.

The advantage here is that it is easy to set up and does not require any special equipment or ports as Qi does.

Plus, there are tons of different pads available from online shopping stores that you can buy.

Do not worry about charging pads if you change your phone.

You do not need to buy a new one for this purpose.

You can just use one of the ones you already have in your home.

However, if you want something more portable, there are some options available as well.

Here Are Some Advantages to Wireless Charging: Why Use Wireless Charging?

Wireless charging has made people’s lives easier and there is no doubt about it.

This section will mention some of the great benefits of wireless charging.

·        Charging Pads Can Be Used with Any Phone.

Whether your device is a smartphone or tablet as long as it has Qi wireless charging technology built-in it will work with any wireless charging pad or system.

They work by converting electric current from your phone into magnetic energy (just like how magnets work).

That magnetic energy is then transferred through the charging pad and into your phone’s battery so it can recharge.

·        Eliminates Use of Cables

Wireless charging of course includes no wires directly involving your phone at all.

This is why using a wireless charging system is best if you hate wires and the mess they make.

Also if you have multiple devices at home or at work this option is the best for you as you will not need multiple cables and adapters.

·        Portable and Convenient

The other best thing about wireless charging pads and systems is that they are very convenient, and you can use them on the go.

Many of the modern wireless charging pads sold on the internet nowadays are very compact and easy to use.

This factor makes them very easy and simple to use whenever and wherever needed.

·        Increased Security

Fewer cords mean fewer electrical problems.

The majority of wireless chargers are intelligent, so they can turn off automatically once devices are fully charged to prevent overheating.

So no short circuits, electrical burns or any other issues that may be hazardous.
