Samsung hasn?t quite got its wireless charging to market yet, but it shouldn?t be too far off now. We?re expecting the official accessories for the S4?- that?s the wireless charging cover?and ?wireless charging pad?- to arrive in June. That hasn?t stopped third-party manufactures from releasing their own accessories though and we?re now starting to see some demo videos of these emerge.
Below you can see a wireless charging demo for the Samsung Galaxy S4 using third-party accessories. The kit in the demo doesn?t quite fit as well as it could, but with a price tag of around ?20/?25 it?s a fair bit cheaper than the official Samsung accessories. This is where a plastic back cover comes in handy, as it should eventually flex enough for you to fit the wireless receiver in without the cover popping off. The S4 charging cover is designed to fit the contours of the S4 more precisely, so it will be a flush fit in comparison.
However, there is another advantage of using a third-party kit in that you can use the receiver with other cases, such as the S View Flip cover. The S4 kit uses a replacement cover rather than a receiver, so this isn?t possible.
If you are buying a third-party wireless charging kit as opposed to the official one, it?s worth noting that the receiver needs to be specific to the S4 (so that the prongs fit correctly) and that the output is strong enough. The kit in the demo has a 15000mA base with a 1000mA receiver. There are lower output kits available, but these may not be enough to provide a good charge as there is usually a power loss of around 30% when it comes to wireless charging. The charger also needs to be of the Qi wireless charging standard.
The uploader of the video, veryannoyingname, has confirmed that the NFC does still work once the wireless charging kit is in place.
