Help Does the Samsung A53 have wireless (induction) charging?

[AppleUser]

On MetroPCS and my Samsung A51. c-port is flaky. Was thinking of upgrading to the A53. Many websites indicate the A53 has wireless/induction charging, but the Metro rep said it does not.

I'd like to have induction charging as an option.

Does the A53 have or not have wireless charging?

Inductive charging is a wonderful feature. However, the A53 is not compatible.

anyways you can make almost any phone wireless charging:

How to Add Wireless Charging to Any Phone

Wireless charging is one of those smartphone features that’s not essential, but it’s super convenient if you have it. You may think if your phone doesn’t have wireless charging there’s no way to retroactively add it. You’d be wrong.

I would not recommend the aftermarket approach. I tried something similar with my S5, which actually had wireless charging as an option which was added by changing the back cover. Instead of installing the OEM Samsung charging cover (not even sure if it was still available at that time, but in any event it would make the phone too thick to use a case), I added an aftermarket charging coil which fit inside the existing cover and connected to the same terminals used by the Samsung cover. It worked, but ran hot and over time trashed a couple of batteries so I gave up on it. I suspect an add-on like this on a current phone might have similar results, and it would be worse since the batteries are not user-replaceable any more.
If you really want a phone with wireless charging, buy on that has it built in.
