Whatever, I want a 30" 4k monitor with HDMI 2 ports at an affordable price. I don't really see the appeal of wireless charging honestly. My phone easily lasts a day on a full charge and quick charge has it charged up in no time. I don't really mind taking 5 seconds to plug it in.

It seems that the technology is for those who tend to forget or don't want to have it as another thing they have to keep track of. They can just set it down at the end of the day and the next morning it's ready to go, no stress no hassle. It's completely up to personal preference at the moment, but as time goes on and technology improves I can see it being a part of everybody's everyday life.

But they still have to place it at the exact right spot. Seems like as much effort as plugging in the charger that's usually lying on my bedside table anyway.

This would be funny if it was unintentional charging.

Considering Samsung's history of phones exploding, I can't say that I consider this an actual feature, although it might qualify as a reclassification as a munition.

I like where the future is going.
