Truly Wireless Charging Experience

 

Tangled in wires!! The problem of our current generation. We are currently in a digital era and the devices we use are smart devices. From phone to tablet to laptops to television to smartwatches, every device is digital and they need wired charging for their functioning. Cables and charging have become the greatest headache for most of us.

But Xiaomi takes it otherwise, what is a pain for the whole world becomes an opportunity for Mi. Xiaomi introduced Mi Air Charge technology which is  “remote charging technology” and can charge multiple devices simultaneously and will recharge a smartphone that’s being used, “while walking around or even when something’s in the way”. The company outlines how the technology works in a blog post. The transmitter looks quite large, as large as perhaps a living room side-table next to a couch. The transmitter can provide a 5W charge wirelessly to a smartphone. This kind of charging has nothing to do with the Qi standard. The smartphones need to be outfitted with a “miniaturized antenna array with built-in ‘beacon antenna’ and ‘receiving antenna array’.” The smartphone has 14 antennas to convert a millimeter wave signal that’s emitted by the charging pile. The signal is converted into electric energy through a rectifier circuit. In its current state, Xiaomi’s remote charging technology can charge multiple devices with a 5W current within a radius of “several meters”. Xiaomi claims that physical objects don’t reduce the charging efficiency, but this must have some caveats.

Yes!! The dream is not long enough when your device will only make your life easy and make you smart without providing any hassle of charging whatsoever.
