hey what is going on guys lon here from Android authority and this is the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and like a lot of other Samsung phones the note 4 does not have wireless charging built-in but that does not mean that wireless charging isn't possible in fact there's actually several different ways that you can wirelessly charge your Galaxy Note 4 so we're going to go over some of them here today and show you guys how you can wirelessly charge your Samsung Galaxy Note 4 so first up on the list is the S charger cover and this is basically just a replacement back for your Note 4 so in order to install it you just pop off the normal back on your note 4 and pop this one on and boom you have wireless charging the back itself looks and feels pretty much the same as the standard back it has the same faux leather texture and everything like that the only difference that you're going to notice that is that it's a little bit thicker than the normal note 4 back and that's because of the wireless charging it's so thick that it actually makes the camera hump on the back of the note 4 flush with the body of the phone which is kind of a good thing it protects the camera a little bit better the only drawback of this being thicker is that you're not going to be able to use cases you're not going to be able to use any cases that you already own so that's the downside of this but if you don't use cases it's not going to be that big of a deal I personally don't use cases so it's not going to be it's not a problem for me but if you like to protect your phone a little bit more that's where it's going to be a little bit of an issue now as far as the actual charging goes it's rated at eight hundred milli amp power so obviously it's going to be slower than physically plugging your phone in but it's still fast enough that you should be able to charge your phone overnight and wake up to a fully charged Note 4 next up on the list is the S view flip cover with wireless charging and this is another official accessory from Samsung and it's pretty much the same thing as the normal su flip cover with the exception of wireless charging obviously but you still have all these same functionalities built in like being able to view the weather the time the date your text messages and answer phone calls all without having to open of the case the only difference is the thickness due to that wireless charging so it is a little bit thicker than the normal su slipcover but if you didn't have them both side-by-side you wouldn't really notice the difference between the two now as far as installing it goes you just pop off the back of your Note 4 and just pop this one in place and you are ready to wirelessly charge it is rated at 800 milliamp hours just like the S charger cover so it's not the fastest thing in the world but it is fast enough just for overnight charging now if you want to be able to wirelessly charge or no for without having to deal with any added bulk then the Qi infinity qi wireless charging receiver is the one for you and this is actually my personal favorite because it doesn't change the look and feel of your note for whatsoever and you still get wireless charging and installing it is actually really super simple you'll notice that there's these little copper connectors on the receiver itself that line up with the copper connections on the inside of the note 4 that you see to the left of the battery and to the top of the battery and once you line up those copper connections you just place the battery door back on and you should be able to wirelessly charge your Note 4 and the best part about it is besides not having to deal with any bolt is that you can still use any case of your choice the charging is a little bit slower than the S charger cover and the sv flip cover because it's only rated at an output of 600 milliamp hours but to me these slower charging speeds is totally worth it to not have to deal with any additional bulk once you have enabled wireless charging on your note 4 you're going to need an actual wireless charger and this is where the charger pad WYD comes in and this is basically a standard qi wireless charger that will work with any Qi enabled device but it's been made specifically to accommodate the size of the note 4 so you can actually fit the entire note 4 onto this charging pad with plenty of room to spare and you'll never have to question that your Note 4 is actually charging because there's actually a little LED indicator light on there that lets you know that the charging process has taken place and the nice part about this charger is that it has a rubbery material underneath so it's not going to slide all over the place when you're trying to charge your phone and there you have it guys those are some of the best wireless charging options for your Galaxy Note 4 if you want to know a little bit more about them as far as pricing and where you can buy them make sure to check out
