If switching from plug-in to wireless charging is something you’re thinking about, you’ve definitely done a lot of research and heard or read about its effects on mobile phones.
Confused about which wireless charging promises are accurate and which ones are not? Here, QROV outlines several common misconceptions about QI wireless charging and provides the actual facts.
Myth 1: Wireless charging requires more time to charge.
Although the earlier Qi wireless charging models only provided 5 W of charging output, that has undoubtedly improved since then. Today, wireless chargers can deliver 15 W or more of power, which is normally what you’ll receive with wired chargers. You won’t need to worry if your only concern is that a wireless charger won’t be able to fully charge your smartphone quickly because you can always choose a fast wireless charger.
Myth 2: Wireless charging isn’t safe
The truth is that using wireless charging is equally safe as using wired charging. The standards for wireless chargers are fairly high, and their temperature regulation and design are closely examined to make sure they won’t harm users or their devices in any way. To prevent serious heat buildup, Qi-certified chargers constantly adjust their charging output. Additionally, they have security mechanisms that guarantee that the chargers will only release the charging current when the item being charged is compatible. It’s also important to note that a Qi-certified wireless charger’s electromagnetic field is safe and does not harm people.
Myth 3: Wireless Charging Isn’t That Efficient
When using a wireless charger, electric current is converted into an electromagnetic field. It follows that there has been some power loss. However, when you charge wirelessly, 80% of the input wattage still delivered. The design and elements of a wireless charger’s coil determine how effective it is. Use only high-quality, Qi-certified wireless chargers instead of cheaper models designed with subpar materials because they are certain to be more effective.
Myth 4: Wireless charging can damage the phone or its battery.
Let’s be clear about this. The phone’s battery affected by all charging methods. Typically, 500 charging cycles can cause a battery’s original capacity to drop by 20%. Additionally, it found that the amount of the battery’s capacity consumed in between charges may have a greater impact on the battery’s lifespan than the charging technique. Instead of letting your battery get down to 5% before you charge, keep it at 50% or higher to prevent degradation and improve battery health. It’s really simpler to just put your phone on charge a few times a day when you have a wireless charger to make sure it’s above the crucial 50% level.
Myth 5: Wireless charging may cause the phone’s battery to overheat.
To control charging output, you will need a smartphone and a Qi-certified wireless charger in order to prevent an excessive accumulation of heat during charging. Use only Qi-certified wireless chargers to ensure that your smartphone won’t overheat, which is why it’s so essential to do so.
Myth 6: The phrases “works with Qi,” “Qi certified,” “Qi compatible,” and “Qi compliant” are all the same.
To assure security, compatibility, and energy effectiveness, all products that adhere to the Qi standard must undergo stringent testing. The Qi mark and the term “Qi-certified” can only used on products that have successfully passed independent lab examinations. Any references to a product being “Qi compatible,” “Qi compliant,” or “working with Qi” could mean that it has not completed formal Qi certification testing. All products from QROV have valid Qi certification.
Conclusion
You’re all set. These are a few of the most common wireless charging misconceptions that are untrue. There’s no reason for you not to try wireless chargers given the efficiency and convenience they provide and the fact that, as was mentioned, there are no chances of danger if you use QI-certified items.
