Samsung is releasing a brand new wireless charging pad for its new flagship devices Galaxy S6 and S6 edge, both of which supports wireless charging out-of-the-box, without the need of any other accessory. The supported wireless charging standards on board are WPC and PMA, making the devices compatible with most of the wireless charging pads out there. But if you’re looking for a new one for your S6, Samsung has got you covered.
However, Samsung hasn’t given any official word on the pricing of its own wireless charging pad for Galaxy S6, but thanks to Canadian carrier Fido who tweeted that the round wireless charging pad will be priced about $59.99 in Canada. The tweet, however, has been deleted now, but folks over at MobileSyrup managed to capture a screenshot of it (check image below). And it seems that customers who pre-order these devices through Rogers and Fido will get Samsung’s wireless charger for free.
The Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge are already up for pre-orders, though only in Europe for now. The non-curved Galaxy S6 is reportedly priced around $699, while its dual-edge’d brother Galaxy S6 Edge is expected to be priced $849.
