How Google Implemented Wireless Charging in an Aluminum Pixel 5
Google unveiled its new products last night: Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G smartphones, Nest Audio smart speaker, Chromecast TV dongle with Google TV, and Google TV video service. Many users are seriously interested in the question, how does wireless charging work in the aluminum Pixel 5? It is known that metal cases block the functionality of such charging. The secret was revealed today.
The Pixel 5 technically uses an aluminum back panel, according to new information. However, a thin layer of the so-called “biological resin” is applied to it. You can feel it when you hold the smartphone in your hands. The aluminum base only maintains the rigidity of the case. However, it has a cutout for the wireless charging induction coil hidden from the user’s eyes under a layer of painted resin. Google argues that the reel is impossible to feel, as the resin layer is incredibly hard and durable despite its small thickness.
Why didn’t the company use the classic glass back solution? It is reported that the aluminum body, covered with “biological resin” is obtained much thinner, which allows you to keep the compact dimensions of the device when using a capacious battery.
In general, the idea looks interesting, but how well the resin withstands falls and other mechanical influences will become known only when the first batch of smartphones falls into the hands of users.
As a reminder, the Pixel 5, which hits the global market on October 15 for $ 699, is based on Qualcomm’s mid-range Snapdragon 765G chipset. The device is equipped with a dual main camera, which, according to the manufacturer, is capable of taking photos and videos of the highest quality, thanks to progressive software “chips”.
