Nokia Lumia phone wireless charging: Wireless Charging Pillow

Wireless charging has developed rapidly in the past year. Nokia provides a variety of methods for wireless charging. Let's take a look at them today.

Nokia's new Lumia phones offer some new features. Not only are the Lumia 920 (or 820)'s new camera and display technology new, but there's also wireless charging. Of course, wireless charging isn't exactly new to us. Palm has had the technology for years, but Nokia brought it to the mainstream, and we know Samsung, LG and HTC are using it now, but they haven't promoted it.

Nokia gives you multiple ways to wirelessly charge your smartphone. One method is the wireless charging pillow, others include the wireless charging pad (which is basically the same thing as the pillow...) and NFC wireless charging. Let's take a look at the pillow first.

As I said, this pillow is basically the same as the charging plate. Why? Because it is actually a pillow wrapped around a plate, which means it is actually a combination of a normal charging plate and a pillow.

However, the quality of the pillow is very high. The material is very comfortable to the touch and the stitching is very well done. I bought the yellow one which is the same colour as my Lumia. The pillow is soft and feels like a real pillow. Because of this, you can easily place it on the sofa with the other pillows without the USB cable or your phone getting in the way. Once you have the pillow next to it, you won't even notice your phone. All in all, I personally don't know if it's worth the £20, as buying the pillow is like paying a little extra for the charging pad, but I think it's up to the customer to decide - is it worth the £20 to be able to place your phone on the sofa or bed without disturbing you?

The charging pad is made of plastic and feels cheap (maybe because it's so light?). However, it still looks nice and the color matches the phone's. A small LED light on the front lights up when charging. Unfortunately, the panel doesn't stop working once the phone is fully charged.

In short, the benefits of using wireless charging are beyond your imagination! It may sound a bit exaggerated, but once you use wireless charging, you will never want to use ordinary charging methods again. After work, school, or anything else, you just need to put your phone on the panel and it will start charging. No need to plug in, no need to be entangled by wires. And the charging speed is also very fast! Although I haven't measured the time, it should be no different from the normal charging speed.
