Unless they changed something last minute, this was posted in response to a question on the GN3 Q&A page on Verizon's website:

Hello sbduce;

There will be a wireless charging door (Qi standard) for the Samsung Note 3 soon after it launches. The door will available for online ordering at www.verizonwireless.com.

Thank you for posting your question!

It could just be because they don't actually have it listed as a feature. Either way, we'll find out in a week!

I talked to a csr and they have the wireless back plate in the system. So I think that pretty much covers it

Wireless charges roughly 15% per hour

If you're concerned about overnight charging, don't be. Wireless charging your phone overnight is basically the best use for wireless charging. If you're looking for a quick boost in power, you might be better off going with a good ol' USB cable. Each has their own pros/cons.

If you use your phone often, usb may be better, if you like to put your phone down, wireless charging may be better.

My main concern is only that in 6-8 hours of being on the wireless charger, will i have a full charge in the morning if i most likely am close to a dead battery by the end of the night? i can always plug it back in for 2 hours at my office on the usb3 into a wall and make extra sure i have a full charge before heading to the field at 1, which i wont have access to a charger until 9 or 10 pm. also curious if the wireless charging plate will work through the otterbox defender?

I loved wireless charging on my S3. I sit at a desk most of the day and run out into the shop every 20-30 minutes for something. I loved being able to set my phone on the desk and keep the battery topped off without added stress to the charging port by plugging it in and unplugging it all the time. I'm not sure if I'll go to wireless charging on the Note 3 since it add's a little thickness to the phone and makes it harder to find a case that fits. I'll make that decision later.

No wireless charging. You need the a backplate allowing you to enable it. Sucks but thats marketing for ya

I bought the wireless charging strip for my s4 9$ on amazon worked with the stock battery and back. But its too slow and requires I put the phone down for long periods of time so I just got extended batteries and swap them out every couple days. I imagine the note 3 will be the same deal

Where I use it

After trying various uses for the charging pad, I ultimately went with using it at work near my desk. It really doesn't add much more convenience in situation where you are going to be setting the phone down once and charging it for a while, like overnight on your nightstand. The real benefit is in a place where you would be picking the phone up and down a lot. I had the usb cord at my desk but I used to often forget to plug it back in when I would get back to my desk, even though i would set it down right near the cord. Now I just set it down on the pad and I rarely leave work at the end of the day with less than a full charge.
