Works hello this is Mr Mobility once
0:15
again the regular way to charge a
0:17
smartphone is to take a cable and plug
0:21
it into the charging port and then
0:25
connect that cable to a power source
0:29
that power source can be a Mains uh
0:32
Outlet it can be a power bank it can be
0:36
an inverter a possible battery it can be
0:39
a solar power generator but the
0:43
underlying factor is that it requires a
0:46
cable to connect to the charging port of
0:51
your phone and then to get power from
0:54
the source so that's how regular wired
0:58
charging works
1:01
now the name wireless charging suggests
1:04
that you do a way with the cable and yes
1:09
in a sense that is exactly what happens
1:13
you
1:14
see to use wireless charging you require
1:19
a phone that is wireless charging
1:22
enabled in other words your phone has
1:25
the technology built in and then you
1:28
require something called a charging
1:31
station or a charging pad or a charging
1:34
plate depending on the design this is an
1:39
example of a wireless charging plate
1:43
this looks like a saucer of some sort
1:46
and you place it on your desk or
1:51
table and how do you charge your phone
1:55
you simply place the phone on it and
1:59
it's starts
2:00
charging okay but there's something
2:02
missing in this image I have just given
2:04
you where does the wireless charging
2:08
station or charging plate get the power
2:10
from aha yes it requires a
2:17
cable so it is not exactly fully
2:22
Wireless the way the image is portrayed
2:26
right so your charging plate you usually
2:30
will have a cable like this connected to
2:34
your wall
2:35
socket and you know you like I said you
2:38
place it on your desk you place it on a
2:41
stool you place it somewhere and then to
2:44
charge your phone instead of connecting
2:46
the cable directly to the phone you just
2:49
place your phone on the
2:54
plate and it starts charging so how does
2:57
this work so you have your wallet
3:00
charging plate or wireless charging
3:02
station and it has coils on the inside
3:05
that generate electrom magnetic
3:08
induction and you have something similar
3:11
inside your phone so when you bring your
3:14
wireless charging phone in close close
3:17
proximity to your wireless charging
3:19
plate the charging takes place
3:22
wirelessly yes wirelessly there is no
3:26
it's not the body of the phone that that
3:30
um conducts anything through the body of
3:33
the plate it's wirelessly you know but
3:36
you you rest it on it because you have
3:38
to rest it on something they are
3:39
designed differently there are some
3:41
wireless charging stations that look
3:44
like this so that you can actually just
3:48
place your phone sorry you can actually
3:52
just place your phone on it like a stand
3:56
and your phone will charge they come in
3:59
different designs I have seen wireless
4:02
charging plates that that are like
4:03
pillows right like I said it's not the
4:06
physical material that matters it's the
4:10
close proximity so some of these things
4:12
are designed like pillows you just drop
4:14
your phone on it and it starts charging
4:17
that's how wireless charging works one
4:20
of the disadvantages of wireless
4:22
charging is it tends to be slower than
4:24
standard wire charging the technology
4:27
keeps being improved upon and already
4:29
we're having
4:30
wireless charging that can do 10 wats 15
4:33
watts 25 wats and and it will
4:35
keep getting higher and higher so we get
4:38
faster charging possible through
4:41
wireless charging what you have to do is
4:45
make sure that the wireless charging
4:47
plate or station matches uh has specs
4:52
that match the specs of the wireless
4:54
charging on your device if your device
4:57
is rated as having 25 watt wireless
5:00
charging for example then you need a
5:02
charging station that is also rated at
5:05
least 25 wats for you to get you know
5:08
the maximum charging speet possible it's
5:10
similar to how um wired charging happens
5:14
how wired fast charging happens there
5:16
has to be a compatibility between the
5:18
plate and between the phone uh for you
5:21
to get the maximum speed possible
5:23
usually between the two of them it's the
5:26
lower speed that the connection will
5:28
default to if this guy cannot go more
5:31
than 10 watts and this guy can do
5:34
25 the connection between them will not
5:37
do more than 10 watts because that's the
5:39
maximum this guy can do and if this one
5:41
can do 25 and this can do only 10 the
5:44
connection between them cannot go beyond
5:46
10 because that's the maximum this can
5:48
do and there's no way this guy is going
5:50
to squeeze 25 out of this guy the
5:54
principles are the same the only
5:56
difference this time is that instead of
5:58
having to plug a Cable Direct directly
5:59
into your phone you're actually able to
6:02
charge your phone by just dropping it
6:04
which is kind of cool sometimes you know
6:07
you at your desk you know you just drop
6:08
your phone and work you need to do
6:10
something you pick it up one of the
6:12
advantages of that is that your charging
6:14
port is not likely to wear out fast if
6:17
you do a lot of you know or considerable
6:20
wireless charging with your phone if you
6:22
have used your phone for a long time you
6:24
know one of the first things that that
6:25
gets spoiled is the Ching point because
6:28
you know constantly putting in the cable
6:31
and pulling it out leads to wear and
6:34
tear so there are all sorts of wireless
6:38
charging stations out in the market they
6:40
are different classes different ratings
6:43
this one is an old one I've had for
6:45
about maybe seven years now I remember
6:48
using this with uh my sam Samsung Galaxy
6:51
S9 plus God knows what he year that was
6:55
it's rated at 5 wats so it's pretty slow
6:59
like I said it's an early model and I
7:01
also use it recently with the Samsung
7:03
s23 I use it recently with the iPhone
7:07
s222 that's just two years ago I haven't
7:11
bothered to buy a more capable wireless
7:14
charger because I haven't used it much I
7:17
think I still prefer to be able to
7:18
charge my phone with a cable at 45 wats
7:23
at 33 wats much faster than the
7:25
available charging plates and wireless
7:27
charging technology I have seen are
7:30
you know but if you are into this sort
7:32
of thing if you want to explore it there
7:35
are all sorts of models out there get on
7:37
Amazon get on Best Buy get on jumia get
7:42
on your favorite online shopping
7:44
platform and you will find a whole range
7:48
of wireless charging plates pillows
7:52
stations whatever name they called you
7:55
will find all sorts you know to buy from
7:58
there's always something for your budget
7:59
and there's something that matches your
8:01
phone of course I advise that you go for
8:03
the most Cutting Edge that you can
8:05
afford that that way you don't have to
8:07
change yours every two three years this
8:10
one is pretty old like I said it's a 5
8:13
wat rated but I mean it does the job
8:16
it's just that who wants to charge any
8:19
phone at 5 wat speed in
8:23
2024 I'll see you in my next video take
8:26
