Wireless charging has always been convenient and a technology of limited use. It is convenient because you can simply place your phone on a surface and it will charge without a wire connected, but it is limited in the sense that using your device while it is charging is very difficult. The minute you take the phone out of the charging cradle, it stops charging.
OPPO is showing off his new Wireless air charging technology this year as a solution to that problem. As a feature in its mobile phone concept, OPPO shows an idea for Wireless Air Charging, where you can hold the device about 10 cm from a charging mat and still drink 7.5 W of energy.
Is this more convenient than normal wireless charging? Well, at least it’s a start. With this idea, you could at least hold your phone and use it, possibly even resting your hands on a rug that will continue to carry you through the air. This is better than placing it on a mat or charging base and trying to navigate the phone experience with your finger.
Since this is a technology on a concept phone, don’t expect it to be here anytime soon. Let us hope that this is the beginning of a great advance.
