Where exactly is the charging coil located?

On the dbrand website, their teardown skins have the coil pictured, it seems pretty close to the location of case manufacturers and I guess I trust their scanning practices

Hi @sumedhphadke

Here's a teardown video for the phone that may help.

The NFC and wireless charging coil location is shown at 8:01- 8:04 minutes into the video
