According to Toshiba achieved the chip in operation, an efficiency of 95 percent, but does not explain how that was accomplished; often, the efficiency is lower, which makes charging of a device via a Qi-charger lasts longer. Chargers that are equipped with the chip are compatible with devices that have the Qi standard as the newer Nexus devices from Google and some of Nokia’s Lumia phones, many other phones are pockets available to make wireless charging possible. The chip of Toshiba goes direct in mass production, but it is unknown when the first chargers will be equipped in the sale.

The Qi standard has been prepared by the Wireless Power Consortium and the manufacturers Asus, HTC, Huawei, LG, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and Sony are now behind the standard itself. The standard incorporates the use of inductiestroom to devices to recharge. A competitor of Qi is WiPower, a standard that uses magnetic resonance to devices to recharge.
