New wireless charging tech may make stylus pens more popular in smartphones

When it comes to smartphones with stylus pens, Samsung’s Galaxy Note series is the only popular option. However, this may change with a new wireless charging technology that uses NFC to charge the stylus. Apart from design constraints, the most common problem that smartphone brands face is charging the stylus.
The stylus pen usually requires being in contact with the device to charge its battery. This becomes a problem as if the stylus pen runs out of battery, the user needs to stop working with it and wait for it to get charged. But this will change with a new wireless technology that uses NFC to charge the battery of the stylus.
To enable this technology, theNFC Forum and the Universal Stylus Initiative (USI) announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding that points out a collaboration plan to allow USI members to integrate the NFC Forum’s Near Field Communications (NFC) Wireless Charging Specification (WLC) in their products.
