With more and more brands of smartphone promoting the ability of wireless charging and more and more public spaces offering such facilities, it really seems that we’re on the cusp of wireless charging taking off and becoming the new norm.
Currently primarily the domain of Android models, wireless charging is currently compatible with the Google Pixel range, LGs, Samsung Galaxy S7/S7 Edge/S6 Edge/Note/J5/J3/A5, the Sony Xperia M5/X/Z3/Z5/XA/X/X, Huawei Mate 9, Moto G4 Play and the Nokia Lumia. And iPhone users – don’t despair! We explain below how you too can benefit from wireless charging.
There’s two type of wireless chargers available for these models: manufacturers models specifically, and then Qi-enabled chargers. The latter are those accredited to the current best practice certification for wireless charging.
There’s a few different forms of wireless charger for you to consider and compare. Which you choose to use is based on personal preference and the circumstances in which you need to charge.
Charging cases are designed specifically for your model of phone and fit around it like a normal cosmetic fascia case. These are normally a little chunkier than standard cases, as they include a battery within that plugs into the charging socket of your phone and boosts the battery. These cases can either be used once or re-charged for repeat use.
Charging docks hold your smartphone upright and plug into the charging socket to charge it up. These are similar to standard charging docks but can be unplugged from the wall and charge on without mains power.
Charging pads are small flat pads that lie on a surface and you place your phone on top of. There’s no physical connection plugging anything into your phone in this instance, but your phone will need to stay in place above to continue to charge; otherwise the electromagnetic connection will be broken.
For iPhones and Apple products, you’ll need a Qi adaptor for lots of types of wireless chargers and will probably find that charging cases work best for you. If you’ve got an Android phone that has a Micro-USB cable, you’ll find alternatives to cases and docks that plug into a Micro-USB slot.
