Does the Nexus 6 have wireless charging? I'm not seeing anything on the page:
http://www.google.com/nexus/6/
Has anyone seen anything about this?
EDIT: Answer found:

Check the bottom under battery:
"Qi Wireless charging support"
Was wondering the same thing ?
After owning the Nexus 5, I've invested about $120 in wireless chargers (the Tylt Vu, and the Nexus charger). Now I'm hooked. This could be a deal breaker for me....
Yes
Sent from my Nexus 5
Yes it has wireless charging. The Motorola site says it in the specs.
I'm wondering if it has the magnets like the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7.

I have the Nexus wireless charging pad that works great on several phones, tablets, and my Moto 360. For whatever reason it will not charge the turbo. No matter where I place the phone on the charging pad, the charger is not detected. The Nexus charging pad has magnets and I can feel it pull the phone to the pad, but still no charge. .. Any ideas?
TYLT brand VU charger

The TYLT brand Vu charger is absolutely great. 50 bucks and it charges really fast. I think right now its the fastest wireless charger available on the market. the charging speed sits right between a traditional charger and the turbo charger. Cant go wrong with that!

mine does not work either
Nokia wireless chargers work great also
FYI, I've experienced the same issue. Nexus charger with magnets and the "microsuction" base doesn't charge, however my Nexus charging orb (the one that came out with the Nexus 4) DOES work just fine
Confirmed. Not compatible with my Nexus branded Qi charging puck. Kevlar DT.
As Qi is a standard, should there be any warranty/legal standing for fix/replace of either the phone or charger?
my XT1225 Moto Maxx, same phone, same hardware works just fine with 4 different Qi charger brands.
However on one -- an orb -- I find I have to move the phone so the orb is on the lower 1/3 bottom of the phone, almost the bottom 1/4 of the phone before it "finds" the Qi charger. On the others it's the halfway mark of the phone.
I can't speak to that specific charger, but I've found that the turbo has a very small wireless charge zone, you have to be dead on for it to work. Love the phone though!
I have a energizer dual wireless charger, works great with my nexus 5, turbo... Not so much. It'll start charging, then after a couple seconds it stops. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
Can anyone confirm if infact QI charging works ?
In many reviews no one has spoken about QI charging, MKBHD's video says it does not work with the official QI charger from google.
Has anyone got it to work, or even confirm it has it apart from what the motorola site says.
No QI charging is a deal breaker for me

According to marques brownlee on YouTube, the wireless charging did NOT work with his nexus 5 charging pad. So don't know if the N6 needs a new charging pad or wireless charging was not included. But I recall moto website listing wireless charging as one of the features.
It's in the spec on the Play Store, so I'm surprised he said it doesn't work. Has there been some kind of update the the Qi standard?
Yes, I've seen it work just fine on another vid.
I think, clearly that small nexus 5 charging pad just isn't big enough for the coil inside the Nexus 6.
it's working in this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXA6mpIsZTY&list=UUDt0iwnK2sPXaOyZhVmXIQw#t=258
It supports qi charging (look at the specs on the motorolla website).
This shows the charging coil on the back of the Nexus 6.

Anyone got it to work with the official Nexus charger ?
It works I just used it on my LG WCD-100 charger.
Here you go in case you don't believe me
Hope it works on the nexus charger. Google support page notes the nexus 6 - https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6073618?hl=en
Guys id you read the original post i dud say apart frim where its written in the spec sheets.
MKBHD said he could not get it to work with the offical qi charger from google, i don't care what the specs say, he could not get it to work.
Can anyone confirm with a device and google QI charger that it works.
tried it last night and it does work with the Nexus 2013 Wireless Charger. It took me a while to find the spot on the back of the Phone.

Where is the spot ? Bottom of the phone ? Also do the magnets help align ?

The NFC and wireless charging receiver is a little lower than the middle of the device.... taking up the space around the "EXUS" on the back. Wireless charging DOES work, but there doesn't seem to be any magnets/magnetic discs around the receiver in the phone to help align the device on the charger.

Kinda of good news but when you placed the Nexus 6 onto the official Nexus wireless charging pad (attached) did it grip or slide off? Some pics would be great
Thanks a million,
Mark
My Nexus 6 is charging fine on the Nexus 4 Qi Orb.

magnets don't do anything unfortunately-
Part of the discrepancy lies with the placement of the coils in the Nexus 6. Since they're so low on the device, you can't center it on most wireless charging pads. For example, if you center it on the Samsung charging pad (which, since it's almost the same size, is probably what you'd do) it won't work, but slide the phone up about an inch and it works fine. This is probably what caused a lot of people to think that the Nexus 6 didn't work with most qi chargers. They simply didn't move it around until they found the sweet spot.
As for the Nexus Charger... well, it works, but since the magnets are FAR too weak to hold the Nexus 6 (unlike the Nexus 5, with its strong grip), it's really hard to get it just right so that it stays on the charger in the correct position. In short, while it works, the Nexus Charger is probably not your best bet. (Hopefully, they'll come out with a new model specifically designed for the N6.) Honestly, the one I've found to be easiest to find the sweet spot on, is the Nokia DT-910. Since it's a stand-up charger, the Nexus 6 fits perfectly, and automatically lines up just right. With all others, just remember that the sweet spot (which should be centered on the charger) is just BELOW the bottom of the volume rocker.

Can confirm this as well. The orb lives!!! My favorite Qi charger by far.
So I know that people all say the 6 supports Qi wireless charging but in a youtube video review by Marques Brownlee, he said that the 6 won't charge when placed on a nexus wireless charging pad. I am wondering if anyone who's already got his 6 and a nexus wireless charging pad can try it out?
Yes I'd love to hear how it works, and about the magnet location.

Here a screen shot of someone in another forum stating the n6 is indeed working with wireless charging right out of the box. Hope this helps!

I have a Powerbot, it works. Seems to be right in the center is where the spot is.
Edit: Actually it seems to be a little bit more towards the bottom. Here is a picture.
It works just fine lb by tylt vu and other generic chargers. It feels like it charges super slow though (I know it's s huge battery, but still feels extra slow). The quick charging is quite impressive though.
Woohoo! I have a DT-910 (the real model number that was incorrectly written as BT-910 in the screen shot). I was really worried that it wouldn't work with the N6 being so much taller. Unlike most wireless chargers, this stand-up dock won't exactly let you slide the phone down until you find the sweet spot. Thank you Moto/Google for thinking about this and placing the coils a bit below center!
There's another OP (4 actually) about this already please search before posting and yes qi works.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/help/qi-charging-t2941516
The charging coil is lower than one would expect: https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6102554?hl=en&ref_topic=3415470
I have the Nexus 5 wireless charging dock. Only downside i can see is that either there are no magnets/magnetic discs at all, or the curved back greatly diminishes the ability of the magnets in the dock to grab the phone... because there's very little resistance to it. My guess is it's only the magnets being attracted to something else in the phone. Nowhere near as glued to the charger as the Nexus 5 is. Probably the only thing that'll make me want to ditch the Nexus 5's wireless charging puck for something else.

But what about the actual official Nexus Wirelss charger? Does that work? That is the charger I have and like everyone else I'm really eager to know!

Yeah, my friend got the Nexus 6 (one of the few to place an order) and he says his nexus 7 2013 qi wireless charger still works perfectly. He just has to place it DIRECTLY in the middle.
Hope this helps

Fantastic mate! I have the same one (I think), I bought it directly from Google Play to charge my Nexus 5!
On a slightly different note I'm in Europe and my brother is in San Francisco. He is coming to Ireland next week and I want him to bring me a Nexus 6! I know I may run into issues with LTE but is there anything else I should be aware of? He will most likely buy it from T-Mobile in the USA, I think they are normally good in terms of phones not being locked etc.?
All the best,
M
I'm new to the wireless charging world. I recently purchased a Nexus 6 (migrated from a 2013 moto x), and decided to purchase an Anker PowerPort Qi Wireless Charger to try wireless charging.
From what I've read, the sweet spot is bottom 1/2-1/3 of the device, near the "u" in nexus on the back. However, I can't get the device to be detected by the charger. Is there any setting that needs to be enabled or any special trick to make this work?
No, wireless charging should work out of the box. I'm having similar problem here, luckily there are 2 nexus 6 in the house. One is working flawless on my Ikea wireless charging point, one (unfortunately mine.....) Is not doing anything, no matter how i place it or how long i let it there.
I've contacted my reseller, have to send it in for repair....
As much as I love my 5x, it's not a patch on the Nexus5, for the single omission of QI wireless charging.
My Nexus5 never needed cables, a overnight charge in the wireless QI stand and it was good for the day. The 5x seems like a massive step backwards for me. Yes, it charges quickly, but I don't care, effectively I never needed to charge my Nexus5, just place it in the right location. I have gone from no charging to charging hassle.
Someone must be designing a QI case, they would be rich very quickly.
Even a USB-C QI pad to go in a regular bumper case.
I own an Air Dock 2.0 and loved it with my Nexus 5. I contacted them about a wireless charging option for the 5x and they eluded to them working on the issue. Below is a quote from them when asked about a Qi mod for the 5x
Hi Chuck,
We are currently in the testing/beta phase for those new phones. Stay tuned to our website for updates!
Thanks
But the Nexus 5x doesn't have wireless charging capabilities D:

That's why he's looking for a case with QI...
Surprised still nothing created in this area. I got my mom a iPhone 6 case that has a battery and Qi built in and its great. Hope someone makes one.

The Qi usb type c receiver pad I mention in that post works fine if somewhat slow, I can't see them making an actual charging case though as case choice is very subjective.
