Google Pixel 5 is the first wirelessly charged aluminum phone

After months of leaks and discussions, Google Pixel 5 was officially unveiled. It will be accompanied by other devices such as Pixel 4a, a new Chromecast and Nest Audio. But by far the star of the show was the new flagship of Google and its construction made of 100% recycled aluminum. Moreover, it also supports wireless charging.

You may be wondering why I care about this thing. Well, even if wireless charging wasn't introduced recently, the phones that support it have glass backs. The interesting part about Google Pixel 5 is the material it is made of. So how does this work? The manufacturer also gave us the answer and I hope that more companies will follow this example.

Even though the interior is made of aluminum, Google Pixel 5 has a layer of bio-resin on the surface. Or in short, a glorified plastic that will cover the surface on the back of the phone. However, this design choice allowed Google to make a hole in the phone in which to place the connector for wireless charging. In addition, the manufacturer claims that you can not feel the connector through the housing because the plastic on top is very solid, despite its thickness.

The Google Pixel 5 will also be the manufacturer's first device to come with a high-capacity battery. Even if for other companies it is already exceeded, the 4,080mAh battery from Google is a record for the company. In addition, the company claims that the new combination of aluminum and bio-resin manages to maintain the premium look and feel of the new phone. Already the new Pixel sounds very interesting and I'm curious to see what it can do, once it will be released on October 15.
