Wireless charging stands
Wireless charging stand
— wireless chargers that are made in the form factor of stands. We are talking about wireless chargers for household use; car wireless chargers are a separate category (see the relevant paragraph).Wireless charging is carried out literally “over the air”: it is enough for it that the energy source and the gadget being charged are close to each other. However, the range of such a charge is a few millimetres, so the easiest way is to put the gadget directly on the charger. Nevertheless, even this format of operation is more convenient than wired one: it saves you from fussing with cables and does not wear out connectors. Some gadgets (for example, certain models of smartwatches) are generally charged only in this way — this allows to remove unnecessary connectors from the design. The disadvantages of this technology are, first of all, the high cost, as well as limited distribution: the wireless method is found mainly in premium devices. In addition, the functionality of fast charging in this case is very limited, see "Features" for more details (although in terms of normal charging speed, such chargers are generally not inferior to wired ones). Thus, traditional wired charging connectors can also be provided in wireless devices.
As for the stands specifically, on such devices, the gadgets are located in an inclined, almost vertical position. This allows you to see the display even during charging process, which is sometimes an important advantage — for example, if you need to watch a webinar or take part in a video conference, and the battery of your smartphone or tablet is low. On the other hand, stands are more bulky than charging pads, they are less suitable for travel and are designed mainly for permanent stay in one place.
