Description
Qi is a wireless charging standard. It’s the only standard that can be found built into phones from both the major phone manufacturers – Samsung and Apple.
Wireless charging allows you to charge a compatible device (like your smartphone) without plugging your device into a power cable. In order to charge something wirelessly, you need to have two components called induction coils. These coils are loops of wire that are built into wireless charging stations and compatible phones. When a compatible device is placed on a charging station, the two coils are able to act as a transformer. When an electromagnetic field is generated by the charging station, it creates an electrical current in the coil that is located in the device. That current flows into the battery.
The Qi standard was first published in 2010, and it described an inductive method of wirelessly charging devices. In addition to specifying three different power ranges for wireless chargers, it also laid out the way that devices would communicate with charging stations to ensure safe and efficient charging.
The inductive charging used by Qi is more energy-efficient than resonant charging, and the components are smaller. That means inductive Qi chargers can be less bulky and take up less space.
QI COMPATIBLE DEVICES:
This silicone moulded wireless charger incorporates 3 in-built coils, offering a much wider charging area to make correct phone position easier. Anti-slip texture and raised edges make this phone mat great for in car, home or office use. Easy to put down and pick up. Compatible with any Qi enabled phone model. Includes 1m USB cable
