Samsung Electro-Mechanics has just kicked off mass production of an extremely thin wireless charging kit for mobile devices, and that means that future smartphones like its Galaxy S series might not need any cords to juice up.

The Wireless charing kit will be available for Samsung GALAXY S III and Samsung GALAXY Note II users very soon, All you Need to do is to put your samsung phone in a special case (included in the wireless cahring kit) then place your phone close to the dock and it will start charging, No cables, full charge faster.

What makes Samsung's wireless charging solution stand out is the fact that charging coil is 40% thinner, and is attached to the inside of the battery cover. This would allow Samsung to keep on making very thin devices, but beef them up with wireless charging capabilities.
