Some modern mobile phones have begun to equip with a wireless charging function, unfortunately so far they are mainly flagships. Especially for those who are not ready to give a large sum for a gadget, but want to touch the latest technologies, a module capable of equipping the phone with wireless charging has been developed.

What is a wireless charging module for?
This is a special device that converts a magnetic field into an electric current. They are available in two types. In the first case, it is a thin plate with a USB plug. The plate is glued to the phone, and the plug is stuck into the connector. In the second case, this is a full-fledged case, which is worn on a mobile device and is also connected via USB.
The main advantage of such adapters is their relatively low cost. Almost every smartphone owner can purchase and install an embedded receiver or external receiver. The advantage of wireless charging of gadgets is that you can completely do without plug-in cables, as well as the ability to charge several mobile devices that support this technology.
Varieties and features of modules
On sale you can find 2 main types of wireless charging modules for the phone. There are built-in models that are placed inside the gadget under the cover and separate devices that convert electromagnetic waves and direct electric current to the mobile device via a USB Type C cable.
Receiver or adapter for wireless charging
Such a product is a thin film that is installed under the cover of a mobile device. Externally, it is almost impossible to determine the presence of an installed converter.
Therefore, this method of equipping the phone with the latest technology is practically no different from the factory built-in adapter. In addition to the absence of external changes, the mass of the module is so small that weight gain will go unnoticed.
Wireless Charging Case
The case with wireless charging is an external module. The variable magnetic field converter is installed in such a device, therefore it is enough to place the gadget in a protective product to enable it to be charged without using a wired charger.
What phones can be equipped with a module
For many phone models on sale, you can find original receivers. Such devices are ideal for installation inside the case. For older models, you can choose wireless charging in the form of a cover or a completely separate module that converts electromagnetic waves into electric current.
If the phone is not equipped with a micro usb or usb type c port, then you can try to assemble a wireless charging device yourself. To do this, it is enough to fix the film converter on the outer part of the lid of the mobile phone using tape.
Before fixing the module, it is necessary to cut the output cable, and solder the copper wires to the connector taken from the inoperative original wire charger.
What to look for when choosing
When choosing a wireless charging, you should first of all pay attention to the correspondence of this element to a specific model of a mobile device.If it was not possible to find a suitable embedded receiver, then, if you have a micro usb or usb type c port, you can use universal modules.
Such products may be slightly inferior to the original factory adapters in performance, but they perform perfectly with their main function.
When buying an adapter, you should also pay attention to the absence of mechanical damage. Particularly carefully check the built-in modules, because even one deep scratch can completely damage the product.
Is such a system dangerous for a mobile device
If a high-quality wireless charging module was purchased, and the installation of the product was carried out without any violations, then such a system will be absolutely safe for a mobile device. After the receiver is installed on its own, the absence of charging may occur for the following reasons:
- Insufficient wire contact with connector.
- The inverter is not in the center of the working surface of the charger.
In the first case, it is enough to check whether the installed wires fit normally to the internal or external connector. If the device is improperly placed on charge, it is enough to put the mobile phone strictly in the middle of the working surface of the charger.
If the wireless charging module was installed without errors, but the phone does not charge, then a defective product may have been purchased and should be returned to the seller to replace or compensate for the cost.
Wireless charging will significantly increase the comfort of using a mobile phone, so even in the absence of a built-in function, you can independently update the device using a separately purchased module.
