Wireless charging makes use of Inductive coils to transfer electricity from the charger to the phone. Since the Galaxy S6 and the S6 Edge have built-in Wireless charging capabilities, it doesn’t require a separate charging cover. The Samsung Wireless Charging pad has glossy finish and the ambient LED light glows in Blue when the phone is charging. After the battery if it’s full, the light turns Green.
It is compact and weighs just 87.5 grams. The charger support both Wireless Power Consortium’s (WPC) Qi standard and Power Matters Alliance (PMA), similar to the Galaxy S6 and the S6 Edge smartphones. It also works with other smartphones that supports Qi and PMA wireless charging capabilities. It offers 5V- 1A output, which is less than the Samsung 5V-2A wired charger that supports Adaptive Fast Charging.
It comes only with a user manual in the box. You will have to use the micro USB cable that comes with the charger. The charging pad comes in Black and White colors and is available for Rs. 2,999.
