Wireless technology has
been here since a long time. As early as 1891 Nikola Tesla conducted
experiments for wireless power transfer. However even today the extent to
which this technology has grown is disappointing. We still rely heavily on
cords or other physical media for charging or data transfer. However, soon this
entire story may change.
Samsung has reportedly
been developing the wireless charging technology. Although this technology has
been implemented in some crude form in earlier phones they haven’t been really effective
or crowd pleasing. The fault of these previous versions that the modules for
charging were separate and the efficiency of charging as compared to the
conventional methods were very low.
Samsung has reportedly
managed to combine all these different modules of wireless charging. Samsung
has been reported stating that it had been working to better this technology
for some time and now they have created wireless charging modules that are much
smaller and thinner compared to the primitive wireless charging device released
earlier.
There are speculations
that Samsung plans to include this technology in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6. If Samsung manages to release this wireless charging technology then it is
in for a major showdown with other major flagships of the year.
Wireless charging is new
to smartphones but not so much to other devices. There have been many instances
where wireless charging has been used for example in the McDonalds outlets in
Europe or the charging tables at Starbucks. Although these chargers are not so efficient,
they get the job done. In fact the charging speed is so low that even if Samsung
achieves 30% of charging speed or wired charging it will be twice as compared
to the existing technology.
There is much to be
explored in this field of wireless charging but it is good to see a tech giant
like Samsung take a step. Even if the wireless charging is embedded in the
Samsung Galaxy S6 the technology in itself has a years to become publicly
acclaimed.
