Monster Watts, which produces power accessories for Apple and Samsung phones, is introducing the WiQiQi ultra thin wireless charger kit for the Samsung Galaxy S4, S3, and Note 2.
Samsung has announced that it will have a $100 wireless charger add-on package for the S4. However, their receiver is inside a new thicker replacement back cover, which makes it probably unable to fit into most cases and docks. Other add-ons come with even bulkier cases. WiQiQi ultra thin receivers fit under the phone back covers and keep the original thin body and lightweight designs.
The WiQiQi receiver weighs just 1/5 of an ounce and is paper-thin. The Galaxy phones have easy-to-remove back covers, and the WiQiQi receiver installation is just a simple matter of lining up the contacts next to the phone's battery. The back cover snaps back on with no added bulk.
The WiQiQi system is so convenient and easy to use because you just place the phone on top of the compact Qi standard compatible induction technology charging pad and, like magic, they will wirelessly connect and start charging right away. Unlike other receivers, the contact points are brass studs, which conduct electricity better.
The WiQiQi Wireless Chargers for the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be available in mid June. Kits for the S3 and Note 2 are available mid April. The charging pads will be forward-compatible with future Qi standard wireless charging enabled phones.
In an industry first, for anyone that has an S3 phone and purchases a WiQiQi S3 wireless charger set from an authorized dealer, Monster Watts will accept the WiQiQi S3 wireless receiver for trade in towards the cost of a new WiQiQi S4 wireless receiver.
