has existed for a long time. The main problem is the efficiency of charging and preserving battery life for everyday use. Many of today’s wireless charging solutions are only a simple hybrid form of true wireless charging and wired charging.

Let’s take a look at Samsung’s Galaxy S3 and S4 devices. Both of them are presented as ‘wireless rechargeable’, but what does this mean in practice? It means that you have to buy a special charging station (which is wired!) and then place your phone on top of the station in order to get a full battery pack in return. Not to mention the recharge time is pretty much double the time it takes to charge via some old-school cable.
