What is Wireless Charging?

Wireless charging is often referred to as Qi wireless charging or Qi technology. The Qi standard was introduced in 2008 and has become the principal wireless charging standard in the industry, used across most smartphone brands. Qi uses both resonant and inductive charging, of which the latter requires devices to be close to each other in order to work.

QI Wireless charging technology is hands down the most popular, but there are still other technologies to note. For example, other wireless charging standards include the Alliance for Wireless power (A4WP) and the Power Matters Alliance (PMA). 

In any case, Qi standard has long been the favorite for a couple of reasons: 

Easy integration into furniture and accessories - Qi technology is very easy to incorporate into different aspects of our lives. It's present in cars, smart furniture, and much more. 

Globally supported and accepted technology - Since it's one of the most accepted wireless charging standards, it's integrated everywhere. 

Backward compatibility - Qi2 technology is backward compatible with older Qi versions on Android or iOS devices and more. 

Safety mechanism to prevent device damage - In terms of wireless charger safety, Qi sets the norm. The newest safety regulations and cutting-edge technologies are found in every verified Qi wireless charger. 

Fast charging support - The Qi standard supports fast charging capabilities, allowing you to spend less time waiting for your device to charge. 

 Ease of use - The whole point of wireless charging is to simply put your device down and stop scrambling for cables!
