New information continues to come about Nothing's transparent wireless charger

After the Nothing Phone models, which attracted all attention with their transparent case design, now there is a craze for chargers with a transparent design.

In the past week, Carl Pei, the CEO of Nothing, unveiled the blueprint for the USB Type C cable, a component critical to charging the forthcoming Nothing Phone (2). In the run-up to the smartphone's debut, the distinct features of this specialized cable have been disclosed.

Creating the cable for the Nothing Phone (2) was a monumental endeavor, requiring a considerable amount of time and effort. The organization shed light on the intricacies of the cable's development process, underscoring that its construction was far from straightforward. The team underwent over 20 design iterations according to the company's records, with many designs being discarded due to their complex production requirements.

The transparent design that finally won approval was not quickly realized, involving a comprehensive two-year development process that covered the conceptualization phase and material selection.

The charger for the Nothing Phone (2) utilizes a novel molding technique, a first in the industry. This process results in an impeccable iron shell body. To attain this flawless outcome, the selected material was subjected to annealing at temperatures exceeding 1000 degrees on three separate occasions, and was stretched fourfold. This exhaustive process was aimed at achieving a design devoid of surface flaws or visible lines. Additionally, the shell is pre-treated and sandblasted, and an electroless plating process helps maintain a scratch-resistant surface.

Nothing ensured its cable underwent rigorous testing, passing more than 25 individual tests to verify its durability and resistance to environmental factors. One aspect that was particularly highlighted was its flexibility, with the cable demonstrating resilience to bending over 16,000 times—a figure exceeding industry norms by more than 60 percent.
