Wireless charging has been around for a few years now, but sadly it hasn't become as widely adopted as we'd like. That may change now that Qi and Powermat and the various companies backing them are working together, so keep your fingers crossed.

However, many popular phones are beginning to embrace wireless charging, and if that's something you're looking for in your next phone, here's a list of those lucky devices.

While wireless charging may not be as fast as a traditional plug, being able to plop your phone on a wireless charging block/stand/mat while at your desk, eating dinner, or sleeping can make a world of difference to the phone and its user.
