LG Electronics (LG) unveiled its latest wireless charger at the World Mobile Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. Portability was the main consideration in the design of the WCP-6,9, which was only 300 cm in diameter.
Despite its small size, the charging surface has become 70% larger than LG’s previous generation wireless charger. The new model is compatible with standard five-pole micro-USB chargers, providing maximum charging performance and convenience for mobile customers. The WCP-300 uses electromagnetic induction technology and is Qi-certified by an organization called the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC). Electromagnetic induction creates a magnetic field that generates electric current and charges the batteries of devices placed on the charging surface. The certificate certifies 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 models already support wireless charging, so there is no need to purchase a separate charger. LG believes that support integrated into the smartphones of the future is the most important step towards making wireless charging technology an industry standard in the future.
