Short answer: No.<\/p>\n

Long answer: No, the Xperia XZ doesn’t have wireless charging — but for good reason.<\/p>\n

Why the Xperia XZ doesn’t have wireless charging<\/h3>\n

\"official-sony-uch12-qualcomm-3-0-quick-eu-wall-charger-cable-p58563-c.jpgThat’s because wireless charging adds to the cost and weight of a phone, and modern wired charging is pretty good. The Xperia XZ has a USB-C port, so you can insert the cable either way up — cutting down on the annoyance of plugging in your phone.<\/p>\n

It’s also very fast, thanks to Qualcomm Quick Charge support. This standard provides up to 18W of fast charging (2A at 9V), letting you get five and a half hours of battery life from just ten minutes of charging. You’ll need to pick up Sony’s UCH12 adapter<\/a> (or another Quick Charge charger<\/a>) to reach these speeds, though — the charger in the box doesn’t do that.<\/p>\n

Can I add wireless charging?<\/h3>\n

In theory, yes. You could buy a Qi wireless charging adapter with a USB-C connector, plug it into the phone’s charging port, and hide the adapter itself within the back of your Xperia XZ case<\/a>. However, at the time of writing there are\u00a0no sufficiently good USB-C wireless charging adapters on the market. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n
