Which One is the Best: Wireless Charging VS Wired Charging?

 A new debate is always triggered by developments in science and technology. Today’s smartphones must include fast charging as a standard feature. Over the past year, wired charging technology has changed, becoming smarter and more capable of quick charging. It fully maintains our smartphone batteries throughout a hectic day and gets us back to work in no time. The increasing usage of laptops, mobile phones, and consumer electronics is the major factor driving the demand for the wired charging market. Research Dive states that the global wired charging market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% and reach up to $14,015.7 million during the forecast period from 2021 to 2028.

However, since the growth of ‘smart devices’, wireless charging has become very popular in the recent years. This change has mostly happened because wireless charging technology has several fundamental benefits over wired charging. So, let us get to the point: which is preferable: wired charging or wireless charging?

Benefits of Wireless Charging over Wired Charging

1. It Decreases the Device’s Wear and Tear

Wireless charging eliminates the need for cables. There is no longer a requirement for a USB port, hence the cable, charging plug, and phone charging port are not put under any additional strain. Furthermore, it is now possible to make phones that are completely waterproof and dustproof.

2. Requires Less Cable Management than Wired Charging

There is no need to constantly plug and unplug a cable when users need to charge the phone. When users place the phone on the charging pad, it immediately begins to charge. Users do not need to worry about losing the wire or charger because everything is stylish and tidy.

3. It Eliminates the Need for Additional Wires

Those who have multiple smartphones, such as an Android and iPhone, have to carry different chargers and cables when they travel. If all these phones support wireless charging, a wireless charging pad becomes the ‘one-size-fits-all' solution. Wireless charging smartphones and chargers from various manufacturers generally adhere to the Qi wireless charging standard, thus a single wireless charger can charge all Qi-enabled phones.

4. Wireless Charging Looks Really Cool

Just a few wires are enough to make your table appear untidy. And not to mention the risk related to stumbling over cables.

Reasons Why a Wired Charger Is Still Better Than a Wireless Charger?

Despite the numerous benefits of wireless charging, wired charging has features that make it a trustworthy choice. This has resulted in the rapid growth of the global wired charging market. Here are some of the reasons that make a wired charger a better choice over a wireless charger.

1. Usage while Charging

Using the phone while charging is possible with wired chargers. The Ventev Charging Cable is available in lengths of 3, 6, and 10 feet for greater mobility while charging your battery.

2. Speed

One of the key advantages of plug-in chargers is the speed of wireless charging. A wired charger speeds up the process of charging the smartphone. For instance, compared to a regular charger, Pure Gear wall chargers can provide about 50% more power to your phone in the same time period. A normal charger will charge Samsung Galaxy S22+ to 17% in 30 minutes. Your smartphone will reach 76% in the same 30 minutes when using the PureGear 45W charger.

3. Portable

If users need to charge their phone while on the go, they have several options. While roaming around, they can connect the charging cord to the Ventev Portable Battery or use a Pure Gear Car Charger.

4. Efficient

Wired chargers deliver a steadier current to the device, allowing the battery to charge faster.

In the Nut Shell

Wireless charging is rapidly becoming a big trend owing to its convenience and other benefits. However, wireless charging is a good option if you are not in a hurry as it is more convenient and takes less time to charge your device. On the other hand, wired charging is still more reliable if you need to charge your device quickly. Thus, both wired and wireless technologies will continue to be in demand in the coming years.
