There are rumors circulating on the internet since last week that the hotly anticipated Samsung’s next-generation Android device, Galaxy S3 might be equipped with wireless charging feature which would make it the very first mobile device in the world to feature wireless charging capability.

If rumors are to be believed, Samsung Galaxy S3 would feature Samsung’s self-created and patented wireless charging system. This wireless charging system is being speculated to use magnetic induction. With this system, users could truly “wireless-ly” charge their cell phones while remaining within 2 meters radius of the charging station.

Although the wireless charging feature has never been adopted by any smartphone manufacturers yet the concept of wire-free charging is nothing new, as there are a variety of cases and charging mats currently available on the market which supports a wide range of handsets. The closest thing to this rumored technology currently in the market is the webOS-based Palm Pre which uses inductive charging.

Samsung Galaxy S3 is rumored to be released sometime late this summer and is being speculated to directly challenge the very next generation of iPhone upon its launch.
