New Delhi: LG Electronics introduced the world's smallest wireless charger at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. Named the WCP-300, it is only 6.9cm in diameter, and is said to be designed with portability in mind.
The charging area is 1.7 times wider than that of LG's previous generation wireless charger. The new model is compatible with a standard 5-pin micro-USB charger.
The WCP-300 employs electromagnetic induction technology and is Qi certified by the Wireless Power Consortium. Electromagnetic induction produces a magnetic field that in turn generates an electric current to charge the batteries in devices placed on the charging pad.
Certification ensures that the WCP-300 is compatible with all smartphones that support the Qi standard.
In the US market, both the LG Spectrum 2 and Nexus 4 feature built-in support for wireless charging right out of the box, eliminating the need to purchase separate covers.
LG believes that built-in support for upcoming smartphones will be the most critical development in making wireless charging the industry standard going forward.
