Qi wireless charging built-in |
The above handsets all have Qi wireless charging pre-installed, and so are compatible with Qi wireless chargers such as those found in public spaces and in vehicles, as well as the complete Aircharge range. When using these models, simply place the handset on a Qi wireless charger to start charging.
In Aircharge public spaces, owners of other non-Qi devices can utilise wireless charging technology through the use of the Aircharge Orb, the world’s first and only MFi Certified multi-head adaptor. Simply plug the appropriate connector into the phone's charging port and place the orb on the Aircharge surface charger for instant power. Alternatively, accessories such as the Aircharge keyring or Micro-USB receiver can be plugged into a device and placed on a wireless charger to transfer charge to the handset.
