Wireless phone chargers - where, which and how to buy?

Wireless chargers are purchased separately from the device itself, and the user often does not know which Wireless charger to buy or where. Of course, they can be bought from us, not everywhere, but some stores sell them, which I already wrote about.

First of all, which charger for which phone model?

There are two types:

Inductions are the most common and much better because they do not require the surface of the device and charger to be made of special material. However, the disadvantage of these chargers is that there is a loss of energy, ie. have less efficiency. Most have a charging efficiency of about 70%

Inductions

Conductive (conductive) are better in this regard - greater efficiency. But, the disadvantage is that they require direct contact, so the back of the device and charger must be made of special material.

Conductive

By the way, 3 organizations deal with wireless chargers: the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) which uses the Qi standard, the Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP), and the Power Matters Alliance (PMA) - all support inductive chargers.

In fact, if the specification of your device says "Wireless charging" in 99.99% of cases, your device can use Qi chargers. Or you can check out this list of devices that support Qi chargers - http://www.qinside.biz/en/support/qi-enabled-phones-2015

I have the most experience with the Aliexpress site, so I searched there. Prices range from 5 to 25 euros for Qi chargers.

The two most common  models at affordable prices are:

but various can be found, e.g .:

The difference between Sleep, Hibernate and Hybrid sleep options

What is the difference between regular Sleep mode and Hybrid sleep mode? And what is Hibernate ? I will try to explain in the simplest way possible so that everyone understands nicely. 1. Sleep When you select Sleep mode , all components of the computer except RAM are shut down to store data. So, if you do something on the computer and press Sleep, the computer shuts down and everything you did (left open windows, documents, etc.) is stored in RAM.
