Verizon Offers Wireless Charging Option for Motorola Droid 4

Published

on

While the Motorla Droid 4 is essentially a Droid RAZR with a slightly smaller screen and a physical keyboard, it does have an extra feature that Verizon hasn’t spent much time talking about. The Droid 4 has an option to charge wirelessly via inductive charging, as long as you’re not afraid to spend some extra money for the privilege.

Verizon is selling a Wireless Charging Cover for the Droid 4 for $39.99. The cover replaces the battery door that comes on the Droid 4, and enables inductive charging. From there all you need to do is put the Droid 4 on a charging pad.

Unfortunately, the power mat isn’t included so you have to add your own, but a quick trip to Amazon.com or Best Buy should get you a pad from Duracell’s Powermat or Energizer. The downside is that the pads will cost almost as much the Wireless Charging Cover itself, if not a bit more.

With the 4G LTE radio inside the Droid 4, an easy charging option sounds like a great idea. LTE can take up a lot of battery, so charging the device throughout the day would make sure you don’t end up with a  dead smartphone at the end of the day.

Sure, you could simply plug the Droid 4 into the wall charger or a computer, but a charging pad is more convenient. True, $40 for the door alone is a lot to pay for convenience, but if you can afford it, the Wireless Charging Cover for the Motorola Droid 4 can save you a lot of hassle in the long run.

    All of the inductive charging for Verizon is based on the Qi “standard” which unfortunately is not compatible with Powermat at this time. Engergizer’s pad is Qi compliment which means it would work fine.

      Thank You I have googled, called, posted in forums, because I can’t get the powermat to charge my daughters Droid 4. Now I know why. I have even called Verizon and Motorola. THANK YOU

    Works great on my Droid 4 but they do not make any cases that fit the phone. The back door bulges out slightly more than the original one. Please make cases to fit my phone!!!
