Wireless charging is easily one of the coolest tech features in phones right now. The ability to simply place your phone down on a surface and charge it without the hassle of wires feels smooth and convenient. There’s no need to fiddle with the charging port or wrestle with tangled wires. That being said, wireless charging is still limited to mid to high-end smartphones. Regardless, in this list, we are looking at some of the most affordable phones with wireless charging you can buy in India right now.

The Nothing Phone (1) is the first (and currently only) smartphone offered by startup Nothing. The device packs a 6.5-inch FHD+ OLED display with support for HDR10+. It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ SoC and comes with a 4500mAh. You get 15W Qi wireless charging support that claims to fully charge the phone in 120 minutes. There is also 5W reverse charging that you can use to wirelessly charge other devices. The phone also comes with the unique Glyph Interface that uses lights to communicate things such as notifications, battery level, and more. On top of this, the transparent back panel of the Nothing Phone (1) gives you a peek at the charging coils, which is definitely a bold design choice.
