Back in October, there was a rumor that Samsung would offer magnetic resonance wireless charging by mid-2014, and many were hoping it meant the Galaxy S 5 would be the first device.
What exactly is this type of wireless charging? It essentially allows the phone to be charged without actually touching the charging pad. Multiple devices can be charged at the same time as long as they are 3cm from the charging pad or station. Unfortunately 3cm isn’t all that far, and Samsung seems to agree.
Samsung doesn’t feel the technology is marketable enough to justify the extra cost to implement it in the Galaxy S 5. I am sure as the technology grows, we will see the ability to charge over longer distances, but then there is the whole notion of if it will actually be safe.
Samsung (and Qualcomm) appear to be still committed to magnetic resonance wireless charging, so maybe it will end up on the Galaxy Note 4. Stay tuned.

Come comment on this article: The Galaxy S 5 probably won’t sport magnetic resonance wireless charging
