Washington: Samsung has created a computer monitor with an inbuilt wireless charging pad in what it claims is a world first. The new monitor called SE370 comes with built-in wireless charging for mobile phones.
The SE370 monitor is available in 23.6-inch and 27-inch versions, with the charging pad positioned at the base of its stand. All Qi-enabled devices, including Samsung, HTC and Sony smartphones, can be charged using the monitor.
Also, the SE370 supports AMD FreeSync, which according to Samsung ensures smoother refresh rate while gaming. Placing an enabled device on the pad triggers it to start charging automatically.
The South Korean company has not said anything on either pricing or availability of the monitors at the moment.
Samsung has released several wireless charging pads previously, but the SE370 is the first time the technology has been integrated into an existing product.
Meanwhile, Apple is the only major smartphone manufacturer not to offer wireless charging capabilities within its devices.
