The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge have arrived, and sales already seem to be quite positive. Of course, Samsung isn’t holding still, doing its best to advertise the Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, and new Samsung features as best as possible. In a new ad from Samsung, British singer/songwriter Rita Ora stars, highlighting the wireless charging functionality built into the Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge. This isn’t the first Samsung ad to feature the singer, and likely won’t be the last.

Beyond baking in out-of-the-box wireless support for the GS6 and S6 Edge, Samsung also is the first company to offer a phone with support for both PMA and WPC wireless standards, meaning just about any wireless charger will work with Samsung’s latest Galaxy offerings. For those curious, Samsung’s official wireless charger utilizes WPC’s Qi standard, but it’s important to note that existing wireless chargers of the PMA and WPC Qi standard should all play wonderfully with the Galaxy S6and S6 Edge.

Considering the Galaxy S6 wireless charger is listed at $70, you might want to consider other options like the Anker Ultra-Slim Wireless Charging Pad ($25.99) or even the Samsung-made “Samsung Mini” wireless charging pad ($32.53) — to name just two of the many alternatives out there.
