You have heard of wireless charging for smartphones but you don't know what it is and how to use it on your new device "> It is also called inductive charging, given the type of electromagnetic technology used. Using this technology you therefore get rid of the stress of the cable and the possible problems generated by an intense use of the USB socket for charging (if you pull too hard for example you can also break the connector!).
The charging base is made up of solenoids which generate a small electromagnetic field in the area indicated for charging; this field is activated only if there is a smartphone in the area, obviously compatible with wireless charging.
In the smartphone there is a small wire wound on itself capable of capturing the electromagnetic waves generated by the wireless charger.
The passage of electromagnetic waves on the wire triggers an inductive process that generates electricity, which can then start charging the battery.
As soon as you move the smartphone away from the charging area, the wireless connection is interrupted without any danger.
There are currently two standards available for wireless charging of portable devices:
1) Qi : this is the most common standard, distributed by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC).
2) PMA : another standard used for wireless charging, distributed by the Power Matters Alliance.
Both standards are effective for wireless charging, only the frequencies in use and the type of connection change.
In the case of the PMA standard, devices can also be recharged with an external adapter, just use the inductive adapter and connect it to the USB socket, so as to recharge the smartphone wirelessly on the appropriate base.
So before choosing any charging base try to find out which standard is used by your smartphone, so as to buy a compatible model.
Wireless charging has evolved and now allows you to recharge a smartphone in just over an hour, with times therefore comparable to the USB cable, although obviously a lot depends on the type of base purchased and the standard used.
