Inductive charging with the LGG G8S

Inductive charging is a method where you don't connect your smartphone to a cable to charge it. Instead, you place the device on a charging station. This transfers power to the smartphone via induction. Since the Qi standards were officially adopted, most smartphones can be charged inductively with the same charging stations. The LG G8S also uses Qi standards.
