But instead, it uses the resonance charging technology that is based on the wireless standard 4 Alliance Power (A4WP), which means that you should be able to charge multiple devices simultaneously and it should not be important if there is a piece of paper or other small objects against your gadgets touching the surface of the bowl.
In other words, you can really just throw your gadgets in the bowl and they will start to charge . There is no son needed, and you do not need to perfectly align the device with the center of the wireless charging.
