Qualcomm Announces Wireless Charging for Metal Case Devices
Qualcomm Becomes First Company to Enable Wireless Charging for Mobile Devices with Metal Cases
This newly invented wireless charging technology for devices by Qualcomm is known as WiPower and is compliant with the Rezenance standard. Wireless charging has been around for a while and was first introduced into the mainstream by Nokia, with the likes of Samsung soon following suit. But one drawback to this tech was that it required a plastic case to work if it was embedded in the device, while many customers prefer metal cases. Hence, Qualcomm brought a solution for such for mobile phone users.
Steve Pazol, GM of Wireless Charging at Qualcomm said:
The BRUSA announcement is important to Qualcomm as much for symbolic as practical reasons, indicating the company’s significance in the automotive sector, where mobile technology in general it taking on increasing importance.
