Why to buy a wireless charger ?

[mike13ftw]

Can anybody explain me why to buy a wireless charger because I see a lot of people on review videos that has one . And one more question . Does night charging shortening battery lifespan ?

If you don't want to plug the cable in to charge :winktongue:I don't think night charging shortens battery lifespan, but I'm not completely sure

Not the same at all -- plug in once, and from then on no more fumbling with the cord, scratching up the phone around the jack, not wearing out the jack itself. Can hide a fixed cable a bit better as well, versus one you need out to move around and plug into a phone

Well it looks cool so why not? I want one, but current prices are high especially when you consider that you are actually buying rolled wire in plastic case

Just to reply to the night charging part. No, it doesn't harm the phone or the charger. The Wireless Charger switches itself off when it knows the battery is fully charged. I've found Wireless Charging to be great.

I'm surprised by how convenient wireless charging is. I didn't think it was a big deal until I tried it. Just drop it off and pick it off, no more fumbling for cables and dealing with the port. I see no real impact on battery life and I usually charge overnight. I get around 2% discharge per hour under moderate use.

Also if you in a bind and low on juice, you can double charge. Turn off all the radios (yes phone calls still work), put phone in battery saver mode, put it on the charging plate and plug in your regular charger in charging port as well. Check back in 15 to 20 mins. It be charged a hella faster. I use wireless charging almost all the time except in situations where I am in a bind, then I go double power for a faster charge

Um, it doesn't work that way.

microUSB charging takes precedence over wireless charging.
