What is Wireless Charging?

Benefits of charging your smartphone wireless
- Small cords to worry about: With wireless technology, you don't have to carry your charger anywhere you go. You only need one cable connected to the charging mat.
- Standard Interaction: Qi charging is universal, so if you have many different wireless devices, you can use the same charging pad without any problem.
- Safe connection: Since charging takes place both inside and outside the enclosure, there is no corrosion because there is no exposure to water or oxygen. This also means that there is less risk of electrical faults.
Disadvantages of charging your smartphone wireless
- Wireless: With current wireless charging your smartphone must remain on the charging pad for continuous charging.
- You cannot use your phone freely: The phone needs to be on the keypad to continue charging.
- It takes a long time to charge your phone. The efficiency of Qi charging is lower than cable charging, so it takes more time to charge off the cable using the same amount of power.
