I sometimes buy things just because of how impressive the product’s mechanics are. Typically if an electronic gadget has something to do with a new use of an older technology, I’m always interested. So it is with the Nexus 4 charger for Google’s flagship Android phone. The charger uses electromagnetic induction to power the phone simply through a magnetic field.
The charger is a simple black ball-shape form with two concentric rings at the center of which is the lowercase nexus logo. The phone sits on these rings that are actually two inductive magnets charging the phone wirelessly–the charger itself connected to a DC adapter. Instead of having to push the charger’s cable away from your phone while navigating Google Earth, you can scroll and pinch and push the screen without any charger interference.
If you prefer as few cords as possible in your electronic life, as I do, the Nexus 4 charger is a perfectly discrete utility for your wireless experience.
