wireless charging is very convenient and very easy and something that I really miss when a device doesn't include it I'm Joe Levi with pocket now and here's how you can retrofit your smartphone or tablet with qi wireless charging support so let's take a look this is a samsung made galaxy nexus and you can see here i've got a case on it this obviously does not have qi wireless charging built in but you can see right there it does have qi wireless charging available to it so let's go ahead and take all the parts apart here this is the device now luckily this does have a removable back and a removable battery but your device doesn't have to ok i'm going to show you two different methods of mounting on this pros and cons of each really fast this guy it's gonna run you anywhere between 5 and maybe $25 through amazon including shipping depending on where you are in the world this one was $9 delivered through Amazon Prime so very nice what you'll notice here is this is the charging coil it is relatively flexible it's got this nice little adhesive strip that I haven't taken off yet because I wanted to show you guys first and then a ribbon cable and a micro USB connector down at the bottom of the device you've got a micro USB connector and there's an orientation to this you'll notice that the narrow part is on the top the wide part is on the bottom so on this charger you put in the narrow part on the top the white part on the bottom if your device is oriented differently they do have different skews so you can get this that has that upside down and make it a little bit easier nicer for you keep that in mind when ordering yours but all you have to do plug in route that cable now I'm blocking my speaker here a little bit which I haven't noticed any problem in practice but if you want there are versions of this device that you basically shift this connector down to the left or to the right so that if you've got a port over here on the side or whatnot you don't have to run it diagonally across your phone you can it's not a problem it won't hurt anything but very money they do have those that have the you know this ribbon cable on either side so from there I can simply snap the back cover on just like that make sure everything is nice and tight snap it on and I'm good to go if your device doesn't have a removable back cover that's okay all you got to do is snap that back on for him we're gonna pretend now that this is a non removable back cover I just lay that in place I get my case start at the bottom in this case and just wrap it around and now I'm retrofit I can take this charger or any other Chi compatible charger lend my device on top and within seconds were charging it's just that simple and this is one of the best retrofits that you can do to your smartphone or tablet so to recap the only two devices that you need to enable Qi charging on your smartphone or tablet is a charging pad which should work with any Qi compatible device and this little cheek oil that we showed you plugged in right into the bottom once you've got those two married up together you're charging wirelessly if you liked what you saw here make sure you give the video a thumbs up of course subscribe to the video channel if you haven't done so already you can follow us on all of your favorite social media sites we are pocket now on all of them and I'm at Joe Levi over on Twitter which is the best place where you can find me thank you very much for watching and make sure you stay tuned for more informative videos just like this one in the coming days
