The Samsung Galaxy S 5, which we’ve now reviewed extensively, comes with practically every feature, sensor, and connectivity option you could imagine. It has a fingerprint scanner, heart rate sensor, IR blaster, USB 3.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac, NFC, LTE, and much more. The one thing it doesn’t come with, however, is wireless charging of any sort – at least not officially.

We find that sort of odd, though, considering its resistance to the elements demands a water-tight seal around the USB 3.0 port, which can quickly grow annoying each time you plug the phone in to charge or transfer data.

No less, the people over at fonesalesman.com have come up with a solution: the S5 PWRcard. Is it worth the buy? Does it work as advertised? We gave it a quick hands-on, installed it on our Galaxy S 5 test unit, and put it to the test. To see the result, you’ll need to take a gander at the video below. Then take a moment to tell us what you think about this sort of wireless charging solution in the comments section!
