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

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

Where to buy a Wireless Charger?

Like I said, you can go to local and online local stores, but the price can be a little higher. However, there are Chinese sites where you can buy them at much lower prices.

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 .:

New Google mobile internet saving application - Datally

I wrote an article on how to save internet traffic on an Android device and I suggested the Onavo Extend and Opera Max apps because they were the most popular back then. Meanwhile, Opera Max has been discontinued and Onavo has been completely redesigned and is now a VPN application with the option to save internet traffic. Their compression technology is probably now used by Facebook in its application because they bought Onavo - link . Google has decided to seize the opportunity and "push" with a new application called " Datally ".

How to change IMEI number on Android phone?

IMEI is an abbreviation of "international mobile equipment identity" and each mobile phone should have a unique IMEI number. You cannot change this number with the operator, but you can temporarily change it on your device. It allows the operator to accurately identify your device and thus enable/disable network services. Also, you can use the possibility of changing the IMEI number, at least for a short time, if you know exactly what you want, but I leave those ideas to you because this is an educational article.
