A feature that Samsung have introduced in recent models is wireless PowerShare. Essentially, this is the ability to charge other devices, with QI wireless charging capacity, through your phone.
This feature was introduced on the Samsung Galaxy S10 range and has been included in many of the higher spec phones since (see full list below). With many devices and accessories now having wireless charging capabilities, having the ability to instantly turn your phone into a wireless charger is a game changer.
No more stressing if you misplaced your charger, or even if your mates iPhone is running low on power. Now you can just connect the two together and start sharing some of the power saved in the huge batteries built into these powerful Samsung phones.
