How to Configure the Reverse Charging of Huawei Phone

While brands are working on developing batteries that last for several days without recharging, today the main advances in the energy field are aimed at the possibility of charging devices with our mobile through wireless reverse charging . Huawei is one of the manufacturers that first started working with this new tool.

Huawei phones equipped with this function can charge any other wireless device using the Qi protocol , regardless of brand. In this way it is possible, when the function is activated and the two devices are paired side by side, recharge the battery of the “client” device with the charge of our phone.

Which mobiles have this technology?

Although reverse charging is a tool that increasingly presents more phones, it is not available to everyone. Today there are only 4 smartphones from Huawei that have the possibility of using reverse wireless charging to recharge the power of other devices.

  • Huawei Mate 20 Pro
  • Huawei P30 Pro
  • Huawei Mate 30
  • Huawei Mate 30 Pro

Mate 30 Pro

All of them should be joined by the Huawei P40 and P40 Pro that will reach the market in the coming weeks and, who knows if this year the firm will also take this technology to its mid-range catalog.

How is it used?

There is no prior knowledge you should have about complex EMUI configurations in order to start charging other devices with your phone without the need for a cable. You just have to activate the appropriate setting within the configuration application of one of the mobiles mentioned a few lines above:

  1. Access the Settings application and select the Battery menu
  2. Near the bottom of the page, click on “wireless power supply”
  3. Following the instructions on the screen, activate the function.
  4. Turn your phone over and place the phone you want to charge on top.
  5. Reverse charging will start automatically.

Aspects to consider

  • Obviously, the phone you want to charge should also be compatible with the Qi wireless charging standard so that not just any phone or device is going to be compatible with the Huawei tool.
  • Although the brand has made considerable progress in this regard, loading speeds will not be particularly fast, so do not expect miracles when using the function.
  • Only one device can be charged at a time and it should be as close to your Huawei phone
  • Reverse wireless charging will be automatically deactivated when the phone’s battery level drops below 20%.
  • Obviously, in order to make use of reverse wireless charging, both devices must be turned on.
  • The device to be charged must be located in the central part of the back cover of the Huawei smartphone
  • If after 5 seconds the load does not start automatically, it recognizes the devices again.
  • Avoid contact of the smartphone with metallic elements. I do not read supports on metal tables or place items made of this material between the two devices.
