Before going into detail on how to wirelessly charge Samsung Galaxy S8, let’s understand a bit about wireless charging.

How does Wireless Charging Work ?

There is no rocket science behind wireless changing. You just need two things, a device with wireless charging feature and a compatible wireless charger.

Talking about the mechanism behind the process, wireless chargers basically emit an alternating magnetic field via the transmitter coil which in return induces an alternating current in the receiver coil inside the phone. It is as simple as it can be. This technology is known as QI Inductive Charging Technology.

How to wirelessly charge your latest Samsung Galaxy S8 or S8+?

Here is a small guide on how you can wirelessly charge your Galaxy S8.

• Plug the wireless charging pad’s wall charger into a wall outlet.
• Now, plug the other end of the wireless charger into the back of the charging pad base. There are different indicator lights on the charging pad which will lit up when you plug it on.
• Now, place your Samsung Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+ on the charging pad. Make sure the screen is facing up. You don’t need to remove the device’s case or cover.
• Once you place the phone on pad, the charging pad will emit a steady blue light showing that device is charging. The pad will emit a steady cyan light if the power less than 5V/2A. You may need to position the phone correctly on the pad. Check for a flashing blue light on pad, if it is there, try repositioning the device at the centre of the charging pad.
