Introduction
The hype train for the Nothing Phone 2 is real, but does this slick new handset pack the convenience of cable-free wireless charging? I’ve been rocking the Nothing Phone 2 for a few weeks now, so let’s dive into the charging situation.
If you’re not familiar with the concept, wireless charging is all about convenience, using the magic of inductive charging coils. You simply drop your phone onto a charging pad and watch it power up – no wires, no hassle, just pure charging simplicity. Now, let’s see if the Nothing Phone 2 lives up to the wireless dream.
Does Nothing Phone 2 have Wireless Charging?
The Nothing Phone 2 supports the universal Qi wireless charging standard used by wireless chargers from Anker, Belkin, Mophie, and other popular accessory brands.
Nothing Phone 2 does support wireless charging. It’s not the fastest wireless charging I’ve seen, topping out at 15W, but that’s plenty to juice up the 4700mAh battery. The wireless charging coil placement along the back panel seems optimized, with no fussy alignment issues. As long as you’ve got a recent, quality wireless charging stand or pad, you’ll have no issues charging up the Phone 2.
Note: Wireless charger and adapter do not come with the Nothing Phone 2 so you need to purchase it separately. Consider purchasing the above-recommended wireless chargers.
Choosing the Right Wireless Charger for your Nothing 2
If you’re eyeing the Nothing Phone 2 for its wireless charging feature, remember it’s a ‘bring your own charger’ situation. The phone itself is ready for wireless life, but it won’t come with its own pad or stand. This actually gives you the freedom to select a charger that fits your style and needs.
There are plenty of sleek, efficient, and even LED-equipped options out there that can deliver power to your Nothing Phone 2 without the need for cables. Look for a Qi-certified charger with a 15W output for optimal compatibility and charging speed. Whether it sits unassumingly on your nightstand or boldly on your office desk, the right charger will keep your Nothing Phone 2 powered up and ready to go.
Other Charging Options
Beyond wireless, the Phone 2 supports Nothing’s own Warp Charge wired fast charging up to 45W with the right wall adapter. So you’ve got options when it comes time to power up.
Wireless charging definitely makes living with the Nothing 2 more convenient day to day. But Warp Charge offers speedy top-up times when you need juice in a hurry.
Bottom Line
At the end of the day, the Nothing Phone 2 delivers on both charging fronts. With support for universal Qi wireless charging and fast charging via USB-C, keeping this phone powered up is quick and painless. If you’re keen on cutting cords, wireless chargers make a great pairing with the Nothing Phone 2.
