Modern technologies do not stand still, but move forward with great speed. One of the latest developments in the field of digital technology is wireless charging for mobile phones. With its help, you can quickly and easily recharge the battery without resorting to untangling wires and finding a free outlet. Increasingly, manufacturers of mobile devices are paying attention to this very convenient technology.
Despite the fact that these models appeared on free sale just a couple of years ago, today they have become quite widespread among consumers. In stores you can find a decent selection of these products. Many potential buyers are lost in this variety and do not know which design will be most suitable for them. To help you solve this problem, we decided to rank the best wireless chargers of the year. Let’s first figure out on the basis of what principle such devices work, as well as what points you should pay attention to when buying them.
How to choose wireless phone charger in 2022?
At the heart of any similar device are two induction coils, one of which works for reception and is located in a mobile phone, the second for transmission. The transmitter is located directly in the charger case: when it is connected to a household power supply, an electromagnetic field arises in it. If a receiving coil is placed in the charging field, then such a field is also formed in it. Due to this, an electric current appears, which will charge the mobile phone. The main condition for fast and high-quality battery charging is maintaining a small distance between the mobile phone and the station itself.
Today on sale you can find several varieties of such products — desktop, automotive, built-in, characterized by an original design, and so on. Desktop models are designed for stationary charging of smartphones. They are round in shape or are made in the form of a stand on which the gadget is placed vertically or with a slight slope. There are products that are built into various furniture, such as a desk or computer desk. A very convenient design is car charging, since you don’t have to look for wires once again, connect them to the cigarette lighter socket, and the like.
The main thing when using this product is the need for a reliable installation, so that during movement or shaking of the vehicle, the structure does not fall off its place. When buying, be sure to look at such a value as the maximum output current — usually it is 1000 mAh. This parameter will be quite enough to work with most gadgets. However, there are energy-intensive smartphones equipped with a more demanding process and a high resolution display. For such models, you will need a charger with 2000 mAh. With the help of wireless charging, it will be possible to keep the mobile phone connector designed to connect the charger in its original form throughout its entire service life.
When choosing products to include in our review of the best wireless chargers, we were guided by all the factors considered, and also took into account the price-quality ratio of products, took into account user reviews. For each of the models, we tried to collect as much information as possible, so that after studying the rating, you can choose the best product for yourself, which will quickly and efficiently charge your gadget.
