Years and years ago when qi was available on the Google Nexus phones the wireless charging was pretty annoyingly over-sensitive to alignment.
E.g. you put the phone down but it was 0.5mm too far to the left or 1 degree rotated wrong and it would not charge, meaning you'd wake up in the morning and the battery was flat. Often the phone vibrating knocked it out of alignment even if you got it right the first time.
So instead of just plugging the phone in, you had to delicately place the phone in just-the-right-place - repeat 4 or 5 times before you got it right etc. Good riddance frankly - it was a shit user experience. I think the high-priced OEM docks relied on really strong magnets to force alignment.
Has it got better yet?
