Wireless Chargers: How They Work and Why They’re Worth It

Wireless Chargers: How They Work and Why They’re Worth It

Wireless charging has transformed the way we power our devices. From decluttering your desk to eliminating the need for multiple cables, wireless charging brings convenience and simplicity to your everyday life. Whether you own an iPhone, Samsung device or AirPods, a wireless charger can offer a smarter way to stay powered up at home, at work or on the move.

With the introduction of faster and more efficient technology like Qi2, wireless chargers are no longer just a luxury—they’re a practical upgrade. At Pulse Charge, we offer wireless charging solutions that are reliable, safe and built for the modern user. Here’s everything you need to know.

How wireless charging works

Wireless charging works through a process called inductive charging. Inside your phone or device is a coil that receives energy from a similar coil inside the wireless charging pad. When placed on the pad, an electromagnetic field transfers power from the charger to the device—no cables required.

This is enabled by the Qi standard, the globally recognised technology used for wireless charging. Qi-compatible devices include most iPhones from the iPhone 8 onwards, many Samsung Galaxy models, Google Pixel phones, AirPods with wireless charging cases and other accessories.

Qi2, the latest evolution of the standard, brings even more efficiency and precision. It improves power transfer, supports magnetic alignment and delivers faster charging while maintaining safety. As more devices adopt Qi2, wireless charging will only get better.

Compatibility with iPhone, Samsung and AirPods

One of the major benefits of wireless charging is that it works across a wide range of devices, provided they’re Qi-compatible. Apple and Samsung have both adopted the Qi standard in their devices, meaning that a single charger can often be used for multiple phones and accessories.

iPhones that support wireless charging include:

      iPhone 8 and newer (including iPhone 12, 13, 14 15, and 16)

      AirPods with a wireless charging case

      MagSafe-compatible iPhones also support magnetic alignment for better connection

Samsung devices that support wireless charging include:

      Galaxy S6 and newer

      Galaxy Note series

      Galaxy Buds with wireless charging cases

Other Qi-enabled devices include Google Pixel, LG, and wireless charging battery packs. Before purchasing, it’s always best to check your device's compatibility.

Pulse Charge offers chargers that work across all of these brands, meaning you can charge your Apple and Android devices with the same setup.

Benefits of wireless over wired charging

Wireless charging offers several real-world benefits over traditional wired charging.

Less clutter: Without tangled cables on your bedside table or desk, your charging setup stays clean and organised.

Convenience: Simply place your device on the charger and it begins charging. No fumbling with cables or worrying about worn-out ports.

Device longevity: Repeatedly plugging and unplugging cables wears out your phone’s charging port. Wireless charging eliminates that issue, extending the lifespan of your device.

Multiple device support: Wireless chargers can be part of a 3-in-1 setup that charges your phone, earbuds and smartwatch at the same time.

Travel friendly: Foldable or compact wireless chargers reduce the number of cables you need to pack, especially when travelling with more than one device.

Future-proof: With more devices adopting Qi2 and wireless charging becoming standard, investing in a high-quality wireless charger today means you’re ready for tomorrow’s tech.

Safety and efficiency

One of the most common concerns about wireless charging is whether it’s safe or as efficient as wired charging. The short answer is yes—when done properly.

Pulse Charge’s wireless chargers are built with temperature control, short-circuit protection and over-voltage safeguards to ensure your device charges efficiently without overheating. Qi-certified chargers also include foreign object detection, which stops charging if an object like keys or coins interferes with the charging process.

In terms of speed, Qi2 wireless chargers are catching up quickly to traditional fast-charging cables. With up to 15W of power, modern wireless chargers can charge most phones just as fast as a standard wired charger, without the mess.
