    All About Qi

    The quest for an increasingly faster wireless charger is ongoing at full pace and shows no clear signs of slowing anytime soon. This is not only due to the fact that people have very little time to waste on charging their devices on a daily basis but also because newer smartphones and tablets incorporate bigger and bigger batteries with each iteration.

    People love their gadgets nowadays, don’t they? From phones, laptops, notebooks, and tablets to smartwatches, headphones, and wireless headsets, there seems to be a broad selection available for almost any device one might be inclined to acquire. All these devices, however, need to be charged regularly, which can be quite a tedious and peculiar process.

    There should be no question about the utility of owning a power bank at this point in time, not in the age of portable wireless devices and perpetually evolving mobile technology. Even without the added benefit of a wireless charging feature, investing in a portable power bank is still a good idea for a whole heap of reasons.
    Although the technology isn’t exactly new, many wonder about how exactly the technology works and whether it can actually penetrate certain objects. In other words, if you’re getting a through table wireless charger that promises to penetrate thick tabletops, can you expect it to actually deliver its penetrative charge on a consistent basis?
    Even though the technology still has a long way to go considering its tremendous potential, the options one has in regards to wireless chargers are quite versatile right now. You can get your wireless charging under desk if need be, on the table, built into the furniture, or in a stand-alone form with a charging pad that you can set up anywhere you want.
    Free from the constraints of plugging and unplugging, wireless chargers offer a much greater versatility when it comes to charging a wide range of modern devices. This, however, wasn’t always the case as we are about to find out. If anything, earlier wireless chargers were just as rigid and inconvenient as traditional chargers.
    The use of wireless chargers has increased a lot over these past few years and it’s easy to see why. Not only does wireless charging provide a practical alternative to traditional chargers but it also becomes a matter of convenience and accessibility for anyone who no longer wants to deal with clutter and loose wires around their desk.

    The novelty of using a wireless charger seems to have worn off over these past few years, with new models hitting the market on a monthly basis. 

    Although they can’t all be expected to meet the same structural and functional standards, many of them are quite decent considering how far the technology has evolved over time.

    Most of you should know by now that wireless chargers are built to meet specific criteria and that they differ from one another in terms of shape, form, installation, and general purpose. What many of you might not know is that the spectrum of wireless charging devices continues to expand on a regular basis.

    While most tech-oriented online discussions used to revolve around the idea of making connections up until not so long ago, the newest spotlight is on disconnecting from the entanglements of old technologies. In that regard, consider spending a few minutes discussing the many benefits of using a wireless charger in this day and age.

    While no manufacturer explicitly states that their wireless charger may lose its charge when faced with peculiar surfaces, it’s definitely something you have to consider. 

    For instance, your average wireless charger may penetrate most organic surfaces with no issues to speak of, but this all changes when the tabletop is made of metal or thick leather.

    When the proof of concept was first introduced by MIT researchers many years ago, they operated the prototype charger at a range of about 30 cm. Although this range hasn’t really changed that much over time, the consistency of the charge being delivered has most certainly improved to an impressive standard.
