Samsung Galaxy 6 Adds Wireless Charging to Its Technology

The expected release of the Samsung Galaxy S6 would be on Sunday and third-party accessory makers are getting their stores lined up and are jostling for recognition in the hectic run-up. It also means that the peripheral announcements can tell us more about Samsung's hardware.

In a report by Ewan Spence of Forbes, he mentioned that "We've looked at battery issues in the Samsung Galaxy S6 here on Forbes, noting that a weak point of the design is the smaller battery capacity in the hardware. Having experience wireless charging in a number of devices, I argued that the inclusion of wireless charging would be a good compromise to offset the smaller battery. There were indications from the supply chain that Samsung was looking to fit wireless charging into the Galaxy S6 range, and Samsung's own blog posts heavily hinted that it would ooh to accommodate all the wireless charging standards in 'new hardware' during 2015."

The Netherlands company Zen, who is a global market in the field of wireless charging, has partnered with Samsung to introduce wireless charging.

Wireless charging is a transformational technology, and while it does require consumers to purchase a charging pad, the benefits in terms of the mobile rule of ABC (Always Be Charging) is huge. It's fast and easy and has to be included in the list of "must haves" for a perfect smartphone.

It's also heartening to see that Samsung has been working with Zen to ensure there is second and third line opportunities for additional sales as the new Galaxy is launched, and not a few weeks after once everyone has publicly seen the handset.
