Cellphone batteries that die way faster than we’d like them to is the ultimate First World problem. People have come to depend on their smartphones for everything, including organizing their schedule, responding to important work e-mails, keeping in touch with family, and even finding directions. Individuals have been left in a tough situation one too many times when their cellphone unexpectedly died. Companies have heard their complaints, and new mobile charging trends have emerged in an effort to solve their problems. Cellphone charging stations have become more prominent in public spaces like shopping malls, and more people are carrying portable USB charging stations with them. To learn more about new cellphone charging trends, keep on reading.
Longer Lasting Batteries
Manufacturers have begun to make phone batteries with higher charging capacities so that smartphones can have a longer use time. Many surveys have shown that a short battery life is one of consumers’ biggest pet peeves. By 2015, manufacturers had elbowed their way out of the 2,000 mAh range, and battery capacities have continued to expand in 2017. The only con of having such large batteries is that, naturally, they take longer to charge. However, manufacturers have gotten a head start on addressing this complaint as well.
Fast Charging
With the invention of faster charging techniques, users no longer have to wait hours for their phone to reach a full charge. Providers like OnePlus have emphasized their “Dash Charge” capabilities with their phones. This is hugely convenient for customers since they have the best of both worlds—a large battery they know will last the entire day and a short charge time.
Type-C Connection
If you’re an Android user, we’re sure you’ve experienced the frustration of plugging in your phone in the dark. Which way does it go? Are you putting it in at the right angle? Might as well get up and turn your light on, rather than fight with the micro USB connector that won’t seem to fit either way. Type-C connectors take all the guesswork out of charging. They’re completely reversible and support USB 3.1 technology—that means faster file transfers and faster charging.
Wireless Charging
Users can wirelessly charge their phones with a specially designed charging case. Once your phone’s battery power starts to reach dangerously low levels, simply activate your charging case to give it a boost. Most charging cases can give your phone a full charge. The only drawback to this technology is that you have to remember to charge the case as well as your phone—but as long as you charge both, there’s no way you’ll run low!
