1. not wearing out charging port
2. comfort of just placing it on surface and u can pick it up any moment without connecting/ disconnecting cable
3. awesome gadget which is actually very useful

I've mounted a QI charger under a panel where my phone sits in my car.
It is handy to just place the phone on, no wires in the way, and easy to pick up and check that text when bored on the motorway.

Still struggling to find a good reason why I'd use wireless charging...

Just a note to anyone buying it will need a charger as it does not come with one. (Heat added btw)

But don't you lose almost 50% of the power used to change? Or are they more efficient now?

Do you lose power using wireless charging?

Last thing I read only about 60% of the charge reaches the phone. The wireless unit has to out put 2 amps to get 1 amp to the phone.
Things may be better now, but I can't find any newer numbers?

Samsung fast charger does exactly what it says for me on par with my fast charger cable and plus at the moment an in the household we have Samsung devices with UsB C also.

No they aren't particularly efficient. But really that doesn't matter, we're not talking about doubling your electric bill here. Yes they are slower than fast chargers but if you have one of these on your desk you won't need your charger anyway.

I used to use one when I had my Nexus 5, gave it up for a fast charger when I went to Nexus 6. I bought one again a few months ago that's angled so it serves as a phone holder as well on the desk, I think I've probably charged manually only 4 or 5 times since getting it.

I got this Samsung wireless charger and an app that automatically turns my S7 edge to a full screen night clock when docked. One of the best gadgets I have bought.

Well I think wireless charging is a great idea. Wish I could use it but I can't afford these Qi-Enabled phones and only have a ZUK Z2 Plus.

1. On all phones I owned, I never actually managed to wear out a USB/charging port. But then I never keep a phone longer than the duration of contract when they force a new one down my throat.
2. If you find plugging a cable in/out once or twice a day a chore, then man you must be quite a creature of comfort.
3. If you say so.

Well it's a very inefficient way of charging a device. If we'd all do it, then this planet will be that much poorer.

Corner case, but I see your point.

If my Moto G2 had wireless charging then the USB port wouldn't have been damaged by an overheating USB cable, such that I can no longer charge or use it.

OK it's energy inefficient but so is having to throw away an otherwise decent phone and buy a new one, considering all the natural resources that have to be extracted, plastic made, etc. So if wireless charging enabled people to keep using their phones for longer instead, maybe it would be beneficial in energy terms.

I think we have worse things to worry about than wireless charging my friend.

that's why we have 100000 windmills installed every year to destroy all nice views!!!

and it's all because of inefficient wireless charging!

Donald, is that you?

Oh well, here's something that might just make sense...
