A phone with wireless charging is a bit niche, but if only all my little devices had wireless charging; earbuds, vape, tablet, controller, remote, etc. I’d set a charging mat in the middle of the coffee table and have all my devices just be charged and ready to go. Now it’s just a mess of wires, with the only thing I keep glued to my hand featuring wireless charging!?
Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones
BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 11 hours agoWireless charging is a gimmick like 3D TV was. There's only one use case, and it's car use. But it doesn't need to be fast. In every other case it's worse than cable in every aspect

I'm hoping for ranged wireless charging. Everything is always charged when Im inside.

Just live in a microwave. Problem solved!

Not doable without some very expensive addons to your house - like IR charging from ceiling
Everything is always charged when Im inside.
That's living in microwave, I'd say its not going to ever happen

Wireless charging sucks. It costs significantly more energy to charge the same battery to full.

Your phone doesn’t have that much energy stored in it. 5 watt hours or so? Now consider the energy cost of making usb-c cords

The charging pad itself probably requires a USB-C cable itself? It takes much more materials to make them than a cable...

yup, the chinese brand have it right. Fast charging is amazing, just put the phone on charge for like 10-20 minutes and you can forget about your battery for another day. It’s great.

I have a one plus phone.
The super vook charging works very well. It feels like less than 10 minutes to go from 10 to 80 percent.

Magnetic portable battery packs are fantastic too.

You're so cool. You can just throw your phone at charging plate to cook itself, while you can't use it. But it looks cool. Cool tech for cool people.

It makes my wife considerably less pissed off when I come to bed late and am not fumbling with cables, so it’s a win for me.

She gets pissed off if you take 2 seconds to plug a phone in? Are you alright brother?
