Pronounced chee, Qi is the most popular type of wireless charging because it is the universally agreed global standard. Other types of wireless charging technology include:
AirFuel Resonant
NFM (Proprietary Near-Field Magnetic Coupling)
RF (Radio Frequency)
Ultrasound
Each offers a unique way of wireless power transfer, all with their advantages and disadvantages. However, Qi has been widely adopted by many technology companies, notably Apple, with its production of wireless iPhones, AirPods, and other accessories.
Despite Qi wireless charging hitting the mainstream market back in 2012, most of us still spend our days plugging this, that, and the other into various sockets and other accessories.
Whether you have a device currently or are browsing the market for a new gadget, you will want to know if the product supports wireless charging. Browsing the product description will undoubtedly help you decide. Visit the manufacturer’s website and search the device’s model. There will likely be a specifications section detailing everything you could want to know.
