The folks over at Android Police have made an interesting discovery about this new charger. The grilles at the bottom of the charger aren't just for design, but are present because there's a fan inside for dissipating heat. Qi wireless charging (Samsung's devices support the PMA wireless standard as well) can increase the temperature of both the charger and the device being charged on non-fast charging, and it seems Samsung's faster version of the technology gets a bit too hot to work well with passive cooling.
It's an interesting thing Samsung is doing here, and it is another (small) example of how the company is taking wireless charging technology seriously. Of course, we still think these phones should be having larger batteries inside, but at least fast charging these devices without wires won't be blowing anything up.
Abhijeet's writing career started with guides for custom firmware for Samsung devices (including the original Galaxy S), and he moved to SamMobile in mid-2013 and worked up the ranks to Editor-in-chief. In addition to phones and mobile devices, his interests include gaming on both PC and console, PC hardware, and spending countless hours on YouTube watching videos on tech, movies, games, politics, and internet dramas.
