It seems like we've been waiting an age for wireless charging to take off - but with the Samsung Galaxy S6 including this futuristic technology, its mass-adoption finally looks imminent.
It's helpful that there's a widely adopted industry standard when it comes to wireless charging called 'Qi'. This means that any Qi charger will work with any Qi phone or tablet.
It's important to remember that your mobile device must include the ability to charge wirelessly as well - there's no point in putting your iPhone or HTC One M8 on these and expecting them to charge - they won't. Check the instruction booklet or search online to find out if your device includes wireless charging.
