Wireless charging is a technology with plenty of potential, ranging from promises of cordless charging at your desk to boosting your battery as soon as you walk through the door. However, most Android OEMs only appear to be making a token effort to push this technology into the mainstream and many consumers are still waiting for a truly convincing implementation. There is no perfect solution to wireless power yet. Rather, there’s an assortment of workable ideas to choose from, each with their own pros and cons. Not to mention that better technologies are still being worked on and some ideas haven’t even been presented to consumers yet. With competition over standards expected to pick up this year, we may see a wider range of smartphone accessories to ensure compatibility with various technologies. As for where things are heading, Qi clearly hasn’t taken off in its current form, instead resonance and/or dual-mode charging is likely to be the next stop. This should overcome most of the practical and performance issues associated with the early first generation technologies. Ideas like Energous are also promising, especially in the business space where entire offices could be built to operate on wireless power. But this is likely further away and requiring substantially more investment and time to perfect than smaller gadget accessories. The big question still to be confronted by wireless power is: why should the majority of consumers choose it over the convenience of a bedside USB cable? #iGOUMI | Quality without Complexity Official Website: igoumi
