You're not expecting the phone to charge by itself, are you?
The charger is wired instead of the phone, so you don't have to get the cable every time you need to charge your phone, which also lengthens the lifespan of your USB port since you're not plugging every day which causes port friction.
I had an S10 that I never plugged in, The port eventually got dirty to the point I couldn't use it when I wanted to, ever since I've ditched wireless charging. Wired charging is more efficient and faster
Your phone would be outdated long before the USB port wears out. Wireless charging is a useless gimmick that just saves you a few seconds in connecting the charging cable to the port. The space used for wireless charging in the phone could be used for an extra usb port.
I've literally never had the usb port wear out
German detected
But wireless charging wears out the battery much faster so you end up having to replace the battery much sooner

>Have nexus 5
>USB port dies
>Can still use phone because wireless charging
Also, wireless charging is much nicer with my motorcycle phone mount.
The point is to be less energy efficient.
I live in america where energy costs aren't a thing I would double my power bill if it meant everything in my house was actually wireless and I never had to plug anything in
my tv, my stereo, my monitors and computer and my phone and laptop it should all power itself wirelessly and frick efficiency I don't need efficiency
inb4 some moron says you'll wear out the USB connector inserting and removing it to charge when the lifespan of the connector even if you spend 16 hours a day doing nothing but plugging and unplugging cables is about 6 orders of magnitude longer than the lifespan of the battery.
Lol, I was too late. In the time it took me to type the post some homosexual literally did exactly what I said they would.
>But muh fragile USB-C
How do you explain the weekly threads made by morons who break the ports on their phones?
because people are either using the cheapest phones with the shittiest cables, or it's people who treat all of their electronics like shit
I'd bet it's a mix of 2 things:
1. Having audio adapters and other stuff plugged into it while it's in a pocket that isn't super loose. Bending over puts strain on the straight plug. 90s audio jacks had this problem solved with short L-shaped plugs that rotate when strain is applied in a pocket. Then Apple came along and now most 3.5mm plugs are straight and tend to break off more. And then the jack got dropped and we went to USB C which only uses straight plugs, doesn't rotate even if you found an L plug, and comes with the added bonus that you can't charge or transfer data via cable if it breaks.
2. Pocket fluff. I haven't dealt with too many "broken" USB C jacks, but most "broken" or "loose"/"roastie" Micro USB and 3.5mm jacks I've seen were fine. They just had compacted fluff stuck at the bottom. Fluff gets in the jack, then you plug something in, now it's packed at the bottom. Repeat until there's enough of it down there to prevent the plug from going in enough to snap into place. Now you have a "loose" jack. Continue until it can't get in far enough to make stable contact. Now you have a "broken" jack. Then I stick a pin in it and pull the fluff out and suddenly I'm a "tech wizard" who can "fix anything".
>doesn't rotate even if you found an L plug
Was about to say "well duh it needs those contacts at specific points" but then I thought... Why the hell isn't USB like a 3.5mm? Can't each of those contacts just be a ring like a 3.5?
Personally, I've broken more 3.5mm jacks than USBs.
I think the most common problem was a loose spring.
Loose spring? You mean the thing that holds the plug in the jack? Every time I thought I had this problem, it was actually compacted fuzz at the bottom of the jack and pulling it out with a pin fixed it.
>plugging and unplugging cables is about 6 orders of magnitude longer than the lifespan of the battery.
wrong
also batteries are easier to replace than usb connectors, moron
>modern smartphones
>easily replacable batteries
maybe in the pre-previous decade
i said easier, not easy.
sorry that youre so stupid
Does it even matter when you have to ship your phone back to the company to do the repairs?
oh youre an apple user
oh you're a poorgay
Damn bait is too good, nobody is actually this sheltered except people who don't own phones and geriatric patients who don't know how to use them.
>"wireless" speakers
>wires inside
just accept the rubber snakes and move on, you can't safely and losslessly transmit energy and signal without them
>less than 50% efficiency
>remaining power is all lost as heat
>heat makes battery hotter
>battery craps out sooner
>most people buy a new phone when the battery life starts getting shorter
>more sales
>more profit
>less than 50% efficiency
wrong
I think the initial idea is that you don't have to fiddle with getting the plug in to your phone
However instead you have to fiddle with lining up your phone to the charger...
Some may see that as easier I guess.
Only potential benefit is when phones go totally portless, however if that is a positive or a negative is pretty subjective.
I like my standing pad on my desk. I just leave my phone on it when I work. I can see notifications easier and it also charges. Pretty convenient.
>Input 12V*2A (24W)

Wireless power transmission scales exponentially with distance. This means that you'd probably need a nuclear reactor just to power your (mostly static) gadgets.
>This means that you'd probably need a nuclear reactor just to power your (mostly static) gadgets.
That's fine.
sounds like bullshit but I'll power my house with a nuclear reactor if thats what it takes
we actually build those in america, unlike what tards in europe do
If it's bullshit then why none of you turbocapitalist geniuses figured it out until now? It would make literally billions of dollars .
15W is what the coil outputs. What the phone's receiving coil picks up is somewhat less.
Yes, but it's mostly negligible.
Show me your resonators Mr Tesla.
>resonators
guess again?
Guess where my wiener goes in ur mum
Losses from inductively transferring power are huge, especially when the coils aren't aligned perfectly or coupled with an iron core through them like in a transformer.
Qi doesn't even work if it's not aligned properly.
I just tested this crap again.
>Samsung EP6300 wireless charger
>USB tester plugged in the power brick
>Ampere running on samsung s22 with case
Not a perfect setup, since Ampere usually shows less than the actual charging power.
>USB tester shows ~9.1W output
>Ampere shows 5W
It can be slightly off and still work, which greatly hurts efficiency and increases heat. Good to see they've broken the 50% barrier, but that's still almost as much heat being generated as is being used to charge your battery. And of course charging the battery loses more as heat too!
>Wireless power transmission scales exponentially with distance.
only if youre a moron
Think of the valuable second you'll save anon! (until you have to reposition it to get it to actually charge)
I fricking hate wireless chargers. Such a waste of space.
>have a case on your phone
Oopsy, gonna take 6 hours to charge
>not aligned properly?
Oopsy, not gonna charge at all
>no case and aligned correctly?
Hmmm, oopsy still gonna take over 2 hours to charge
>want to use your phone for anything?
Oopsy, gonna have to move your phone and stop charging
I plug my phone into my fast charger at 5% and it's almost at 100% in an hour, and I can move it around and still use it while plugged in. Wireless chargers are a meme. I have lost count of the amount of times my gf has picked up her phone from her wireless charger and lost her shit because her phone didnt charge properly
Maybe at some point in the future tower rf will be enough to power phones.
>replacing the battery will typically involve just as much labor and effort as desoldering and replacing a simple female USB jack.
what a moron.
Super convenient to just drop your phone instead of having to plug/unplug a cable. Especially if you're frequently getting up from your desk.
why do phones even have usb ports? so outdated. hope they get removed in the next gen
Maximum B8
I like it because I don't have to frick around with the cable when I wake up to answer the phone for my carpool
I had one phone that had wireless charging, a nexus 4. The pixel xl and 5a I've had/have didn't have it. Ironically, my truck now has a wireless charger I've never used.
there isn't a point, we keep inventing shit that doesn't make lives better. Frick off, big tech
>sit down to watch some TV
>can just sit phone down
>starts charging instantly
>go to bed
>put phone on charging stand
>charges over night
It's nice, no more plugging things in and out and I have them placed around in such a way that I never have to think about the battery on my phone.
makes more sense in a car
i think they have ones that you can mount under desks and such too, so they aren't just sitting there
>ITT; The same gorilla Black folk who complain about flimsy USB-C ports demonstrate their moronation.
May such cases.
I can honestly say that I have never had even an ounce of desire to try one of these or a phone dock. Total fricking consoomer shit.
had a phone with a broken usb c, i wish i had wirelless charging then
