Wireless Phone Chargers for Life Without Cables
Wireless charging is already a standard feature on a number of high-end smartphones. The convenient feature can also be added to an iPhone or to non-compatible Android devices via third-party protective cases.
There are two widely-accepted wireless charging standards for mobile devices out today: Qi and PMA. You'll notice that the former is a considerably more popular option.
Please note that at least for the time being, wireless chargers trade speed for convenience. None of the available offerings on the market today can match the speed of the wall chargers that come bundled with today's high-end Android and Windows 10 smartphones.
