What is Wireless Charging?
Wireless charging means that you can charge your smartphone without cables. You don’t have to plug and unplug each time. Your phone needs to be at a short distance from the actual charging pad. Several of the newer phones hitting the market have the capability already built-in, while some need an adapter to facilitate the charging.
