Samsung is believed to be working on a wireless charging system that will let you charge your device without putting it on a magnetic plate
Samsung has been the poster boy for Korean media for a while. The company keeps on brewing something or the other with the Korean media getting a taste of it every now and then. The latest news that has emerged is that Samsung is working on a true wireless charging system for its flagship devices that will be launched in 2014.
You’ve seen wireless charging till now on a slew of devices but the case with them is that they use a magnetic charging plate to charge the device. You usually keep your device on the plate which is connected to a power source. So in a way, it is pretty much the same as charging your device with the help of a conventional charger as you do not get any sort of mobility.
But Samsung is planning to go against this norm and launch a true-blue wireless charging system next year. With the help of this system, you’d be able to charge your device without keeping it on a magnetic plate but instead you would be required to be in a specific range. So this way you can stay mobile and use your device to make calls, play games, browse the internet and what not within a specific range. And while you do all this, you’d be assured that your device is being charged as well.
The technology which will be used for it will be magnetic resonance which will let you charge the device within a range instead of the current magnetic induction which requires the device to be placed on a charging plate. Samsung is developing this technology with the help of New Zealand company PowerbyProxi in which it recently invested $4 million.
The rumours about Samsung launching the Galaxy S5 in January are also doing rounds these days and it might be the first device that Samsung chooses to bestow with the wireless charging technology.
