Wireless charging has been around for a few years now, but sadly it hasn't become as widely adopted as we'd like. That's changing and the various groups that build wireless charging standards are working together and even Apple has embraced the technology with the iPhone 8 and iPhone X.
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.
