Wireless charging has the merit of being able to charge without connecting the cable, but efficiency is not as good as charging on wired, and efficiency may fall dramatically depending on the placement of the device and the distance etc. .

For now, wireless charging is a medical deviceRFID chip(NFC) etc. It is theoretically possible to charge an electric car, for example, it seems that it is possible to continue to fly a quadrotor around a mobile phone, for example.

Digitimes reportedIntel's wireless charging technology will also rollout in the second half of 2013,Haswell microarchitectureIt is said that it will be adopted for UltraBook and smartphones equipped with.

By the way, not only Intel is exploring the possibility of wireless charging, NTT docomo and Sharp already in 2011World's first wireless charging compatible smartphone "AQUOS PHONE f SH-13C"We are on sale.
