As smartphones are convenient and entertaining to use in a car, keeping the battery charged is a must. And with wireless charging technology becoming commonplace, more automobile brands are offering wireless charging options inside the car. Did you know that some of these wireless chargers in automobiles are made by LG Electronics?
When you are charging your smartphone using cables, you need a compatible cable. But with wireless charging, as long as you have wireless charger and a supported smartphone, the manufacturer and device type don't matter. The international standard Qi ensures compatibility.
Wireless chargers generate a magnetic field, which is absorbed by the antenna connected to the smartphone's battery. Qi is a certification created by the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) to standardize and ensure compatibility. It serves as a type of a guide for wireless technology. That means Qi is the standard that determines the stability of wireless technology.
The LG Electronics wireless charger for automobiles meets the latest Qi 1.2.4 certification standards. This means that it is capable of wirelessly charging any smartphone regardless of the manufacturer. LG will also obtain the upcoming Qi 1.3 certification and supply these products to global premium automobiles to make things more convenient for passengers.
At LG Electronics, the goal of developing wireless smartphone chargers isn't just to provide the convenience of charging phones without cables. Wireless technology is a crucial part of various services that future automobiles will provide.

Infotainment systems that provide a wide range of information and entertainment is one of the key elements of future automobiles. Minimizing the restriction of movement is the key to seamlessly use the infotainment system in a confined space. NFC (Near Field Communication, a short-distance communications protocol for 10 cm or less) sensors on the wireless chargers are useful for establishing Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connections and even starting the car. Simply put, wireless charging is an indispensable part of future automobiles.
Just as various mobility technologies such as wireless charging have become important, the importance of automobile software quality is increasing as well.
