Google Pixel 5: Qi charging possible despite the aluminum back
The newly introduced Google Pixel 5 has a back made of 100 percent recycled aluminum. And it can still be charged wirelessly, as has been confirmed. It was rumored in advance that wireless charging was not possible because of the aluminum back. But Google confirms that Qi charging is possible without any problems and the Pixel 5 even supports reverse wireless charging. It usually doesn’t work when there’s metal involved. But Google uses a trick, they use a bio-resin as a layer on the housing to make it work. And then it gets tricky, because not the entire back is made of aluminum, but there is a cutout in the housing, which is then filled with resin. But the user does not see it. And if that works smoothly, I would bet that other manufacturers will also use this new back instead of glass.
