In a nutshell: We're told that the future of charging will exist truly wireless, and if Motorola's engineering science is to be believed, that futurity might exist closer than nosotros recall. In a behind-the-scenes demo, the company showed off its new Space Charging arrangement, which consists of a desktop charging station that can remotely send power up to four devices simultaneously.

Truly wireless charging or charging at a altitude is a novel idea in theory but quite impractical from an technology perspective. Nosotros saw Xiaomi brand bold claims with its upcoming Mi Air Charge engineering earlier this yr, and now Motorola has come forward with a remote charging system of its ain.

Images of Motorola's image transmitter initially surfaced on Weibo (Chinese), alongside a video demonstration by Motorola showing the remote charging station power upwards to four smartphones from a three-meter distance.

Gimmick or a true over-the-air charging solution?

The charging station is said to pack ane,600 antennas, which are used to emit mmWave impulses for delivering up to 5W of power. That'southward quite wearisome compared to wireless solutions on the marketplace, though Motorola says the 'Infinite Charging' station has a wide 100° coverage, works through paper and leather, and features built-in AI to pause remote charging if a human is detected in its range of exposure.

It'll certainly be a lot more convenient to charge devices in one case, and if, companies like Motorola and Xiaomi tin deliver a breakthrough advancement to brand this tech feasible and safety to apply. As for now, details around Motorola's pricing and release timeframe for the 'Infinite Charging' accessory remain unknown.
