Will any wireless charger work with any phone?
Most newer phones allow for wireless charging. It is recommended to check the specifications of your phone to determine if it has wireless charging functionality. Wireless charging can also be referred to as Qi charging. Many wireless cell phone chargers are equipped with Qi technology, which allows you to charge different devices, from Android and Apple to Blackberry phones, with the same wireless charger. This feature eliminates the need to keep a multitude of charging cables around.
Can you charge a phone both wirelessly and wired?
There are no benefits when you charge your phone both wirelessly and wired. When you place your phone on a wireless charger while it is plugged in with a wired cable charger, it will charge using the cable because your phone can only draw power from one source at a time. It’s best to stick to one method.
