Motorola Demonstrates Its Own Long-Distance Wireless Charging
Just a few hours after the Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi announced its long-range wireless charger that can charge multiple devices at a time, Lenovo’s offshoot Motorola announced that it has successfully come up with a long-distance wireless charging system called the Motorola One Hyper.
According to the company, the charger can charge from a one-meter distance, provided nothing stands in the way between the charger and the device.
This news was announced via a teaser video uploaded on Motorola’s official YouTube channel. The video shows two Motorola Edge phones that are placed in a standing position 80cm and 100cm away from the charger. They immediately start to fill up the battery, but once an obstacle is placed in front of the charger (a person’s hand in this case) the charging stops.
Synopsis
Xiaomi, Oppo and Realme, which launched their fintech apps Mi Pay and Mi Credit, Oppo Kash and Realme PaySa, respectively, at the start of 2020 have so far seen fewer than 1 million downloads each on Google Play Store against their user base of 20-100 million.

Even in terms of transactions, they have barely made a dent. Mi Pay and Realme PaySa recorded 480,000 and 10,000 monthly transactions, respectively, throughout 2020, with minimal month-on-month growth.
New Delhi: Chinese smartphone companies trying to carve a niche in the fintech space have had a tough time, possibly on account of poor consumer sentiment following Sino-Indian border tension.
