Wireless charging presently requires a certain level of contact with power coils which is more convenient than physical connectivity but still not quite as limitless as it could be, so the Xiaomi Mi Air Charge has been created with this in mind.
The specialized technology makes use of 144 antennas in order to connect with a device as soon as it is within range to send power directly to it without the need for a physical or passive connection. The system will power devices from several meters away when in use or in a pocket and will deliver 5W of power at a time.
The Xiaomi Mi Air Charge utilizes beamforming technology to maximize charging capabilities for one or more devices.
