Samsung currently backs Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP) and its Electro-Mechanics subsidiary has confirmed to join the board of the competing wireless Qi standard. Samsung Electro-Mechanics along with Microsoft have joined the board of Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) that drives Qi wireless standard’s adoption.
Although the industry is yet to set a single wireless standard, the use of Qi is quite extensive compared to other wireless standards. Qi is currently backed by over 200 companies.
Samsung also sells some accessories that support the Qi wireless standard.
Averix says
Please just standardize on one so we can start having interchangeable accessories and built in wireless charging on new devices.
