I thought that the S3 supported wireless charging out of the box? :confused:

It does. But you need the charger and the adapter for the S3 which Samsung promised and then never delivered. You'll see 2 pins under the back cover for charging (i.e. for the wireless induction coil).

Ah, I see... Shameful by Samsung then.
 
Not gonna work with postbox-courier. There's a minimum charge of 30 USD. Ordering from Amazon might mean multiple packages from multiple vendors which would mean delivery costs would climb

:(

Finally received my charger (delivery to SA was quick). https://www.fasttech.com/products/1149700

Works. Not sure about charging rate, but i don't expect it to be great.


A couple months too late to ask but how does the wireless charger perform? Is it worth ordering?

Slightly faster than USB charging. I it use it at night, with a daydream that doubles as a desk clock.

Wireless charging is still just a gimmick. Docks with galvanic connections work much better and do the and thing.
