There is an increasing pursuit by smartphone manufacturers to extend battery life and provide quick wired or wireless charging solutions. The approach has seen some innovative solutions from OEMs like Apple’s Magsafe Power Pack, which the US company has already announced. Realme is also known to have gotten a patent for a similar upcoming device called the MagDart.

A recent patent filing has shown that Chinese brand OPPO may be considering wireless charging pads for its devices. The full details and technical architecture of the product are not known fully. However, it is speculated that the Wireless Charging Pads could charge multiple devices simultaneously. This could offer challenges on its own, as we have seen with wireless chargers that do not generally pack enough bite than several ultra-fast wired charging solutions prevalent in the market.

Therefore, having a device charging multiple smartphones wirelessly at the same time could be unduly long. Apple’s MagSafe Power Pack can only offer 15W charging when operating wirelessly, much lower than Qi chargers.

On the whole, wireless charging solutions for smartphones can be suboptimal and slower than a wired charging system. The Qi wireless charging solution, already prevalent in the market, also encountered some serious problems. Qi chargers are prone to power loss during transfer due to improper or inadequate alignment.

Even though not much is known about the patents, the concept of multiple wireless charging of your devices looks exciting and could be attractive when it is eventually unveiled. Not much can be said about timelines for the actualization of the OPPO patents.

We remain in the realm of speculation on the possible release of multiple wireless charging devices. OPPO hasn’t made any statements yet concerning its plans for the wireless charging pads.
