Wireless charging WCP-400
As you know, the Nexus 4 smartphone has the ability to charge without wires connected to the phone. Moreover, this function works out of the box: no need to change the case. But you need a wireless charging, which is not included with the device. In one of the wireless charging models, namely the Nexus 4 Wireless Charger, the Qi standard is used - the only globally accepted interface for wireless charging of devices, a standard developed by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC).
Qi hardware includes a transmitter plate and a compatible receiver in the plug-in device. In use, the plug-in device is placed on the transmitter plate. Charging occurs through induction energy transfer, such as in transformers. By the way, wireless charging appeared in several cafes of Moscow as part of the experiment.

In the assortment of the online store Google Play, a wireless charger has appeared recently. Yes, and it is sold only to residents of foreign countries. I ordered such a gadget and I want to share my impressions about it.
At the moment, the Nexus 4 Wireless Charger WCP-400 can be purchased for $ 59.99 . Plus $ 5.99 for shipping to an address in the United States. Well, another 25 dollars for delivery to Russia. In general, the device will cost about 3000 rubles.
Specifications from the official page:
The whole set is placed in the packaging, colorfully decorated and carrying a sticker from LG.
On the back of the box are various certification badges and a short description in 6 languages. I was surprised that there is in Russian. Although officially the device in Russia is not yet sold.
Everything is packed very tightly, nothing hangs out in the box, the power adapter, instructions and cable were in a separate compartment, charging was wrapped in a protective film. Package is not big.
Unfortunately, all instructions are in English. But there are no particularly important moments. Primitive training on how to properly use the charge.
Comes with a power supply. True not for our outlets.
You have to use this way:
And the usual microUSB cable. Same as bundled with Nexus 4 smartphone.
The main part of the device is made of matte black plastic.
With the exception of the rim around the charging surface, which is made of glossy. Yes, charging collects dust. And not so easy to remove it. Wiped with a wet rag. But after a couple of minutes of use, a new layer of dust immediately appears. Apparently you need to accept this.
Behind is information about the model.
The device looks like an orange cut in half.
On the back is a microUSB connector. Standardization is good - you can use any power supply, without even searching for a suitable connector in which case. Yes, and the wire should be carried with you only one - if you want, you directly charge the phone with it, if you want - you connect wireless charging with it.
Of course, not quite without wires recharging ...
The WCP-400 has a convenient tilt angle. Because of this, his position becomes comfortable to work with the device during charging.
Charging begins when the phone is approached 2-3 cm away from the charging surface. Charging area is quite large.
Therefore, you can slightly move the device up or down. Removing the device is not difficult. I can do it with one hand.
Many people think that the smartphone is held by the force of the magnets built into the charger. But this is a small delusion. In fact, this surface material does not allow the gadget to slide off. You can try to press the screen with your finger and try to pull the smartphone off the surface, but it will still hold steadily.
Charges the smartphone for 3 hours and 45 minutes. This is longer than standard charging. But the process itself, its convenience, is important to us. And the smartphone just attached to this device looks much better.
Sometimes my smartphone just slid down. This begins to happen after I removed the back film. After it seemed to stop. In the case, by the way, also perfectly charged. It holds even better, but it all depends on the case material.
Charging looks nice, pleases the eye and goes well with the Nexus 4. If you want to buy a wireless charger, then this is exactly what you need. But are you ready to give almost $ 90 for all this? This question is worth considering ...
