You can buy adapters for US and Europe versions for people that travel and vise versa. Frankly why don’t they make a charging pad that works for all Phones, like the charging pads that’ll recharge anything with a rechargeable battery

then why’d they take it out of the note 2?

they aren’t anti wireless…it’s a misconception. They are anti Note 2. The DNA is sold by a total of 1 carrier…and it’s them, the note 2…all of them. The DNA was announced (don’t know the exact details here) .2 milliseconds after the Note 2, and they delayed the note 2 launch on verizon so the DNA could come out with it….it’s the only competitor to the note 2, and they have it to themselves, that’s why the note 2 was gimped (no wireless charging), uglified (see home button), and fucktafied (see multitasking support) by verizon, they want to sell DNA’s

Looks like the Euro plug is an attachment of some kind.

Unless they’ve managed to find a way to pack a lot more juice into Qi Wireless charging, probably not.. It would take a long time to charge a Note 2 at 1Amp.

I’m hoping that it’s going to be for the S4, which is going to be my next phone…

It still doesn’t make any sense. Verizon sells a bunch of Nokia, LG Qi chargers….they don’t restrict anything in this case.

They are not, it’s just all support the Qi standard, so any phones that support wireless charging, can be used on any of these wireless chargers

Some devices just come with different tips. My guess is that the FCC probably just didn’t switch them out before they took the picture.

Why would Samsung create a wireless charging peripheral for an HTC device?

It does look really wide. So probably the Note 3.

Regarding the comment about OEM’s not releasing devices and accessories at the same time, the only OEM that has been consistent with this is Motorola. Now that they are owned by Google, there’s no telling if they will keep this up. I doubt it. I haven’t purchased a Motorola device since the Droid Razr, so I can’t tell how they are doing lately.

What are you talking about?? The DNA charges on any Qi based charger.
