Samsung recently conducted a rather strange study, which involved a total of 6500 respondents. For example, it showed that 35% of Europeans would prefer a fully charged battery on their smartphone to a sum of money from another person. But that's not all. According to the study, Wireless PowerShare is also more than just a way to charge one device through another.
In short, according to Samsung, battery life is a valuable commodity these days—a kind of "emotional currency" that makes PowerShare play a significant role in human relationships, establishing and strengthening them. The results of the study showed that only 14% of Europeans are willing to share the energy from their battery with another person. 39% of respondents said they would willingly share battery power with a colleague and 72% would not hesitate to share PowerShare with a family member.
At the same time, the study shows what we are willing to do for the possibility of recharging our device. 62% of Europeans would buy a stranger a coffee as a token of gratitude for sharing a charge, and 7% would even go on a date with a complete stranger in exchange for the ability to use Wireless PowerShare. Samsung's German branch has assessed that sharing battery power can be part of "modern dating". 21% of respondents said that they would greatly appreciate it if their counterpart shared their battery power with them. However, this is not a matter of course for everyone - 76% of respondents said that they would definitely not discuss PowerShare at the first meeting.
Wireless PowerShare technology was introduced by Samsung along with its smartphone series Galaxy S10, and allows the device to be turned into a wireless charger.
