You can soon dump those wired chargers. You need not bother about carrying the right cord or having more than one cord for multiple electronic gadgets. Qualcomm, the semiconductor technologies firm, has claimed it has cracked the code to let your phones or other devices with metal exteriors or cases charge wirelessly.

The US-based firm, with significant presence in India, has been working on such technology for about a decade. It said its technology enables wireless charging through devices made of metal.

“Till now, smartphones with a metal design could not be charged wirelessly—the know-how simply did not exist. Today, Qualcomm becomes the first company to announce a solution. This solution is based on the existing WiPower technology reference design, already Rezence-certified by the Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP),” the firm has said in an announcement.

The technology has the ability to simultaneously charge multiple devices with varying power requirements on the same charging area.

“Resonant technology also allows devices to charge at a distance from the charging area, making it less cumbersome to include wireless charging in furniture and automobiles, among other areas,” the firm said.
