Android 15 is set to revolutionize how we charge our devices with the introduction of NFC Wireless Charging. 📱⚡
🔹 What is NFC Wireless Charging?
- Unlike traditional Qi wireless charging, which requires a certain amount of space for a charging receiver coil, NFC Wireless Charging operates differently.
- It utilizes significantly smaller antennas, some of which can be less than 1 cm in size.
- These compact antennas can be integrated into tiny devices like earbuds, styluses, smartwatches, and tracker tags.
- The same antenna serves both for NFC data transfers and charging, optimizing space usage.
🔹 Why is this Exciting?
- Google has actively worked on incorporating NFC Wireless Charging into Android 15.
- The recent Android 15 beta 1 includes changes to the operating system’s NFC stack.
- A new class called NfcCharging manages NFC charging events, making it easier to implement this technology.
- Android 15 also includes WLC-related additions to the NFC APIs, signaling the integration of NFC Wireless Charging.
🔹 What’s Next?
- Imagine charging your earbuds by simply placing them near your phone!
- Developers can now explore creative ways to leverage NFC Wireless Charging in their accessories and gadgets.
- We’re on the cusp of a new era in wireless power delivery.
