For a world that’s fast turning wireless, we’re still all too dependent on wires and cables. However, tech giants like Samsung are making strides in their attempts to go completely wireless and the latest recruit of their wireless revolution comes in the form of a wireless charger. The Samsung Wireless Charging Pad enables wireless power and it is said to be one of the most significant developments in charging technology. Samsung’s latest flagship smartphones have built-in support for both PMA and Qi wireless power standards, which allow them the ability to charge wirelessly without the need for an additional accessory.
Samsung’s wireless charging pad makes use of inductive charging technology (Qi), which completely eliminates the need to attach a charging cable when recharging enabled devices. All you need to do is set your device on the surface of the charging pad to receive power. What’s even more advantageous is that your device remains usable even as it charges. A true leader in the world of wireless charging, Samsung’s wireless charger can be considered as a successful model and template for future wireless chargers, offering many benefits including but not limited to:
- In addition to an easy to operate design and setup, the charging pad also has visual and audio status indicators to signal users when a device is charging, powering up, as well as when the battery is filled to its capacity. For instance, a GS6 beep when first placed on the charging pad and then beeps again when charging is done. On-screen notifications as well as indicator lights can likewise signal charging activity.
- With wireless chargers, you can worry less about wear and tear on your charging ports, which can take a toll on the device and cause damage over time. Because charging can be done wirelessly, ports can be dedicated for syncing and other necessary functions.
