Wireless charging for the phone is one of the latest innovations in the field of IT. The ability to charge a smartphone without disentangling the wire and searching for an outlet, which had recently seemed a pipe dream, has become a reality. Increasingly, leading manufacturers of technology in creating flagships use this convenient technology. Among them are such well-known brands like Apple, Samsung, Motorola and LG. Undoubtedly, the number of phones supporting the wireless charging function will only grow. After all, technology has found an inspired response in the hearts of many users due to a number of advantages.
The most obvious advantage of wireless chargers is, of course, convenience. No need to search for a free outlet and unraveling the cord saves time. In addition, the technology allows you to charge the gadget without using a connector for charging, which will prevent the splitting of paint from the case and other possible troubles. Just put the smartphone on the charging station, and soon the battery will be full. However, it is so simple only for the iPhone and some other flagship devices, in the case of which a special receiver is installed for wireless charging. The rest of the phones will require additional accessories, for example, a special film.
How exactly does wireless charging work? It transmits a charge to deiwais via electromagnetic induction. Simply put, when wireless charging is connected to an outlet, the surface of the charging station generates a small electric field. To recharge the phone, simply put it in the middle of this surface with the screen facing up. Some of the best and, as a rule, the most expensive stations successfully cope with their function even through a smartphone case. However, in most cases, direct contact of the gadget and the charging surface is still required.
Today, wireless charging is relatively small, but their number is rapidly growing, as are the capabilities of the devices. In stores, it is already possible to find Qi stations with a light indicator showing the level of charge, charging stands, and even automobile ones. To help understand this diversity, we selected ten of the most popular and effective devices with good technical data and reviews.

Open the category of unusual wireless charger ... mouse pad. Yes, you read that right. Our attention was attracted by the rug from the popular Xiaomi. Why clutter the table with a separate charge, if you can combine two useful devices in one device? The design is quite simple - a plastic platform for a mouse measuring 420x260 mm, a control washer and no distracting pictures. The control wheel is designed to adjust the volume of audio on the computer and control the RGB-backlit. The base of the rug is made of aluminum - no doubt about the reliability. The bottom is covered with non-slip polyurethane.
Finally, about the charge itself. The zone for it is set aside on the right side of the rug and is barely noticeable on the general background. The location is convenient - the phone is at hand, but does not interfere with working with a computer. The power of wireless charging that supports the standard Qi, 7.5 W, than many even more expensive specialized devices cannot boast.
