A Deep-dive into Smartphone Wireless Charging

In a hyper-competitive smartphone market, differentiation is key – this could be differentiation in terms of design, looks, or performance. With more customers than before being interested in smartphone performance, especially battery juice, smartphone brands have embraced wireless charging capabilities. This does away with the need to fumble with cables to add battery juice.

With the OPPO Ace 2, OPPO has introduced a wireless charging capability of 40W. On the other hand, brands such as OnePlus and Xiaomi with OnePlus 8 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 10 5G respectively have come up with 30W. For the rest of the brands, 5W is a base, and a few handsets support 7.5W, 10W, and even up to 15W.
