wireless charging

[iFortWorth]

So what are the odds that we see the new Nexus device with wireless charging? None of the rumors I've seen mention it so I'm not holding my breath, but it sure would be nice.

Depends on the material. If the chassis is metal, no wireless charging. If it is glass/plastic... it's probably. But seeing as HTC is making the phones, I think these will most likely be metal phones.

That's what I was afraid of. All indications are it's the HTC spawned device...... <sigh>

The top half of the back of the device seems like some sort of glass or plastic material. If that's the case then they might be able to fit in wireless charging to the device?

I don't particularly care for wireless charging. I have tried it on previous phones but didn't find it very useful.

I'm really hoping for Qi charging too. Been waiting for the right timing to get a Nexus for several years. Would be a shame to let my nice Verizon Qi charger go to waste.

Yeah, the glass panel that appears in the latest leaks you posted (and what are noted on AC's front page today) would suggest it might have wireless charging. I'm not sure what else such a large panel would be for, except maybe improved cell reception without having to resort to antenna lines.

I'm wondering if it isn't some sort of touch pad...?
