Wireless charging?

[mkygod]

Any chance that the Xperia z4 tablet will have wireless charging? Did any of the previous Xperia devices ever have this feature?

To my knowledge, the only Xperia device so far that has had wireless charging has been the Z3v Verizon variant in the US. The z2 and z3 series all have magnetic charging. Not sure about the ones before that. As far as the Z4 Tablet goes, I have seen no mention of wireless charging or magnetic charging, and the images don't show a place for a magnetic charger, so I'm not sure.

Wireless Charging is essentially the transmission of an electrical current from a power source to a receiving device without the use of a physical connection. The electrical current is then used to charge or re-charge the battery of the receiving device. In this circumstance the receiving device can be anything from a smartphone or wearable, to a large industrial forklift.

I dont think so that will happen... Sony will not add :/

I feel as if Sony would have mentioned or advertised it. Plus, that's quite a large pad.

Er.. how exactly? I see no contacts where a dock connector could charge it semi-wireless and no spec sheet says anything about it having hardware for any true wireless charging in it.

I suspect Sony thought because the USB port does not need a flap like the previous models there is not as much need for a charging dock. For myself they are likely right. There is for me no huge difference convenience wise between putting the unit into a dock or plugging in a cable (assuming the cable is already there anyway).
