What Samsung Devices Support Wireless Charging

Fewer cords, safer connections. This, among others, is what you get with wireless charging. Apple was one of the first companies to popularise wireless charging.

Also, the Galaxy S20 series, the S10 series, and the Note 10 series also support “Reverse Wireless Charging.” This is the ability for a wireless charging-capable phone to act as the charging station and be used to charge another wireless device.
