When Nokia launched the Lumia 920 with Windows Phone 8 something special beyond the operating system caught my attention: wireless charging arrived as native feature on your smartphone. The hardware , compatible with standard Qi, charges the battery to rest the device on a wireless basis , and the energy passes through the air from one device to another. But will the charger “magic” works in other models of smartphones?
Finnish explains that it is another to adopt the Qi standard, used by over one hundred companies around the world, making its new smartphones compatible with wireless power. This means that Nokia devices equipped with the standard Qi can be loaded by other energy sources that use the same pattern. Additionally, devices from other manufacturers, even competitors, support the same standard induction Qi energy can be powered by Nokia chargers.
How does wireless charging
The company, maker of the smartphone, Charger (DT-900) and other accessories such as speakers and covers supply for the Lumia, summarizes the operation of the Qi standard as follows: one transmitter coil is positioned in a of devices, while a receiving coil is the device to be recharged.
first coil can be regarded as the wireless charger from Nokia, and the second as the Lumia 920. The transmitter generates a magnetic field from an alternating electrical current and voltage induced in the receiver coil, charging the battery.

The idea is that, with the popularization of the Qi standard, soon, restaurants, cafes and airports in some countries already make available this technology on desks or recharge points with the boot wireless embedded – the What makes it even more interesting.
Where to find?
The manufacturer advises that, in Brazil, it is possible to find the charger DT-900, black in color, for U.S. $ 199 in the stores of Nokia. In addition, there is also a cover (CC-3041) for the Lumia 820 which replaces the original battery for a receiver compatible with DT-900.
Among the accessories recommended by the Nokia website are beyond the wireless charger and a wireless power pad, a support vehicle with charger wireless which also assists in accessing Nokia maps while traveling and JBL dock that plays music stored on your smartphone via bluetooth and NFC connections. The speaker also functions as a wireless charger for any device with Qi.
