I’ve never had a phone that supports wireless charging, never really saw the appeal of it, and the people I know who has a phone that supports it don’t even bother to buy a wireless charger. So I’m really curious since it seems to be on almost every phone these days, even budget ones. People who use wireless charging, what do you like about it? Is it actually that convenient over plugging in? Do you use the phone while it’s charging?
Tbh Wireless charging is bad for batterys so is a thing that I don’t use. (Also fast charge is bad too)
Why is this?
Wireless charging is at best about half as efficient as wired charging. Physics dictates that the lost energy had to go somewhere, and it is being converted to heat, which heats up the charging pad and the phone’s receiving coil. Problem is, these things are placed right against the battery, and exposing a lithium ion battery to more heat always reduces its lifespan due to the battery’s chemistry.
