In the past few months we heard the rumor that the Samsung Galaxy S3 could be charged without a wire numerous times. Yesterday Samsung confirmed that it is indeed possible to charge your Galaxy S III by using a wireless charging kit.

Of course, charging by wire is still possible (and probably faster), but you can also buy a special add on that will allow you to charge your phone if it lay’s somewhere near the kit.

Wireless charging for the Galaxy S III

Samsung hasn’t confirmed any details on the kit, so the price and specifications are unknown at this moment. However, we are almost certain that charging will go slower compared to charging using the regular micro USB connection.

Of course, this doesn’t really matter if you can simply lay down your phone on your desk and it will begin charging automatically!

Here is the technology as announced during the Samsung Mobile Unpacked event:
