wireless charging

New Bluboo phone has been announce mid-January and it is a rugged device designated Bluboo R1. Initially we didn’t have any real information about the specifications aside the general PR talk about “robust design, rugged features and high power level for all the outdoor activites”.

Today we can finally add another small piece of the puzzle, because a real hardware feature infomation just surfaced concerning the Bluboo R1. Seems like the phone will be the first rugged device supporting the wireless charging, while of course still retaining the standard USB port for wired connection and charging.
