Qualcomm announce new wireless charging tech that works for metal bodies devices
Qualcomm Technologies has today announced an update to the wireless charging technology and the new tech will allow wireless charging for devices with metal exterior. Powered by Qualcomm® WiPower™ technology, new solution is compliant with Rezone standard.
“Building a wireless charging solution into devices with metal exteriors is a significant step for moving the entire industry forward,” said Steve Pazol, General Manager of Wireless Charging, Qualcomm Incorporated. “Today, more device manufacturers are choosing to utilize metal alloys in their product designs to provide greater structural support and, of course, aesthetics. QTIs engineering advancement eliminates a major obstacle facing wireless power and opens up the continued adoption of this desirable feature to a much wider range of consumer electronics and use cases.”
The new wireless charging will operate at a new frequency that is more tolerant of metal objects, thanks to Near Field Magnetic Resonance Technology. This also allows simultaneous charging of different devices with different power requirements using Bluetooth Smart.
