Re: The Huawei Nexus 6P will NOT have Wireless Charging [RUMOR]

Not surprising with the metal case of the 6P.
Probably kept it out of the 5X to keep costs down.
Just my $.02

Mav. :cool:

This one is surprising given Google's push on this tech on previous devices - but as @VW Maverick said, obvious reasons are obvious.

And here's why: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comme...hi_lockheimer_here_at_google_with_the/cvjjnp0

HL> Thanks for being a Nexus fan! We added Qi wireless charging starting with N4 because plugging in USB micro B was such a hassle! (Which way is up!?) With this year’s Nexii, we support USB Type-C which has a reversible connector so there’s no more guessing. AND it charges incredibly swiftly: 1% to 100% in 97 mins on the 6P for example (the first ~45 mins of charging is especially fast). Meanwhile, wireless charging adds z (thickness). So, ease of plugging in + fast charging + optimizing for thinness made us double down on Type-C instead of wireless!
