Not certain if there has even been any 'standards' yet written for universal use of wireless charging.
I believe it is done through a transformer action, the charger has a coil that would be the first half of the transformer, the phone will need a corresponding coil to complete this transformer action. then this 'circut' must be connected to the battery, or the phones charging circutry.
Yes, It would be COOL if the Pine Store could offer such an accessory ! (Eventually)
It could possibly be paper thin, but would likely need to cover some area, such as an inch by three inches (US) or larger to be efficient. Then it would also need to be connected electrically to the phone or battery.
I'll be getting a PinePhone. Still using an Inc2 for calls and a slightly newer DooGee for PlayStore and Google Home. I bought a replacement back plate for the Inc2 having a charging coil interface to phone board, the phone board having cooresponding mini pogo-pins. The phone rear cover gets hot and I know that's murder on a battery. If the charging plate had a fan, the battery might last longer. I'd be willing to pay more for something that didn't kill batteries.
