Samsung kicks off mass production of a wireless charging module for mobile devices

Samsung Electro-Mechanics has just kicked off mass production of an extremely thin wireless charging module for mobile devices, and that means that future smartphones like its Galaxy S series might not need any cords to juice up.

What makes Samsung’s wireless charging solution stand out is the fact that charging coil is 40% thinner, and is attached to the inside of the battery cover. This would allow Samsung to keep on making very thin devices, but beef them up with wireless charging capabilities.

We can’t really say which exact products would get this new module, but one obvious candidate is the Samsung Galaxy S III. The S III was touted to come with wireless charging back in early 2012, but this elusive charging never materialized. Of course our wishful thinking immediately hints a future S IV is also a likely candidate. That’s just a speculation though. To know the reality, we’d just have to wait.
