Wireless charging on smartphones is a game changer as much as fast wireless charging is. This is because it delivers a cleaner and cable-free experience. The feature has become a must-have on many premium phones today. It relies on electromagnetic fields to transfer energy between the charging pad and the device. The smartphone needs to be compatible with the wireless charging standard. The charging process begins immediately eliminating any fumbling experience with cables and wear and tear on ports.
It’s important to note that the wireless part means no direct cable to your phone. You still need to plug the charging pad into the power outlet via a cable. Fortunately, if you want an entirely cable-free experience, smartphones with support for wireless charging are also compatible with power banks that support the technology. So you don’t have to be tethered to a wall socket.
Another thing is that wireless chargers top up the device at a slower speed and are often less efficient. Although wireless charging pads are less portable, they are capable of refuelling multiple devices simultaneously creating an all-in-one solution.
