Google recently released the first beta version Androidat 15, which brings some interesting news. Now in it a well-known expert on Android found a code that indicates that Android 15 could allow your phone to charge smaller devices wirelessly—using an NFC chip.
A well-known expert on Android Mishaal Rahman in the first beta version Androidu 15 found a code mentioning "NfcCharging". This means that Android 15 could to your smartphone using NFC (nowy technology standing behind contactless payments) upossible wirelessly charge small devices such as smart locators or styluses. However, such charging would be extremely slow - with only 1 W of power. Even the slowest chargers using Qi wireless technology do not charge that slowly.

In reality, even such slow charging would your smart locator, stylus or some wearables will charge quite quickly. In addition, since most smartphones already have an NFC chip, it would not be difficult for manufacturers to implement this kind of reverse charging. Rahman recalled that Google tried to introduce NFC wireless charging support in late 2021, less than a year and a half after its specification was released. Later, however, the American giant gave up all its efforts in this direction. Now he seems to have changed his mind. If you would Android15 managed to push for expanded NFC wireless charging support, it could push smartphone makers to embrace the standard. Without exaggeration, this feature could be a godsend for those who frequently use the aforementioned small devices and complain every now and then about running out of “juice”.

Samsung offers the Wireless Power Sharing function, but it works on the Qi standard, which is a different technology. It logically follows from this that Samsung could use this innovation especially for charging its upcoming device Galaxy Ring. However, the company already offers a range of styluses. This would probably not be very useful with Ulter, but in the case of the S Pen, which you can buy for Fold jigsaws, it would also make some sense.
If it worked with a watch, for example, it would be great.
