Motorola OTA wireless charging might be available soon

Wireless charging may be saving us from tripping over cables but they don’t exactly keep our phones untethered completely. It’s not really easy to use our phones while on their wireless charging docks and you often need to position the devices precisely on top of the hidden charging coils. The ideal wireless charging solution is, of course, one that is completely invisible and intangible, and Motorola’s partnership with OTA power company GuRu could bring that to reality soon.
Motorola is hardly the first to present OTA wireless charging as a solution to our charging woes. In fact, Xiaomi fired the opening shots earlier this year when it revealed its Mi Air Charge technology. OPPO would later follow with its own Wireless Air Charging teaser but that one seemed to support a shorter distance compared to Xiaomi’s vision.

Oppo has given a glimpse at its future offerings at a tech expo in China, including a wireless air charger that will recharge a phone that s anywhere within 10cm of the charging pad.
It s the third Chinese company to tease an ability to charge devices in mid-air this year, following Xiaomi and Motorola.
At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) event in Shanghai this week, the technology was showcased in use with the Oppo X 2021 rollable concept phone. Our new Wireless Air Charging technology uses magnetic resonance. Charging begins as soon as the device gets within a few inches of the charging mat, and users can even play games while they wirelessly charge, the company says.
