Samsung teases new wireless charging support for upcoming Galaxy S6

After talking about the **camera abilities** of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S6 smartphone, which will be the new flagship for 2015, the South-Korean tech giant has hinted at wireless charging support for the device. In a blogpost on Samsung Tomorrow, the company talks about the history of induction and how they have been trying to cut down the cost of implementing wireless charging. The blog post notes, “It is expected that 2015 will be a landmark year for the growth of wireless charging deployment, as wireless charging stations will begin to appear in more and more public places. Samsung will accelerate to democratize this wireless charging technology with compelling smartphones. With our upcoming Galaxy smartphones, users will be able to enter a new wireless world like never before.” The company also states that around two-three years ago, wireless charging was only 20 to 30 percent as fast as wired. However, the charging speed has now been doubled. “Consumers have been crying out for a simple wireless charging solution that frees them from the need to carry several different chargers for multiple devices. The goal has been to provide them with the ability to utilize one wireless charging dock that is compatible with all the devices they already own as well as all the devices they buy in the near future,” notes the blog post. In essence you won’t need to buy a specific charge pad for each compatible Samsung device in the future. Previous reports have been hinting at two S6 variants namely, Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge.
