Wireless charging for mobile phones

• Wireless charging has been around for a few years now, but sadly it hasn't become as widely-adopted as we'd like. Micro USB ports start to loosen and bend over time and being able to limit that wear and tear by using wireless, but due to the fight over wireless charging standards, most phones simply go without it. And while Power mat and the various companies backing them fight it out, smartphone users are left in the cold.

 

• However, many popular phones are beginning to embrace wireless charging, and if that's something you're looking for in your next phone, here's a list of those lucky devices.

 

• Now, many of the phones on this list need special back plates in order to get wireless charging, but these are the phones that officially have wireless charging supported, as opposed to phones that can only achieve wireless charging through bulky cases that replace the battery or plug into the micro-USB port. Also, certain variants of these phones may use Power mat rather than, such as the AT&T variant of the LG 3G, but it does still support wireless charging.
