Apple announced its new iPhone 12 series smartphones a few days ago and along with that, the company revealed a few new features for the devices as well and one of them is the new MagSafe charging accessories.
For those who are unaware, the MagSafe charging feature is a magnetic attachment system for different accessories that can be snapped right onto the back of the iPhone 12. There are a bunch of different use-cases and accessories, including wallets and chargers.
While Apple says that the feature is limited to the iPhone 12 and 12 Pro models, new reports claim that some Andriod smartphones are also compatible with this new MagSafe feature from Apple.
The reports claim that Google Pixel 5, as well as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 smartphones, are also working with the MagSafe charger from Apple. A report from Android Police says that Galaxy Z Fold 2 has magnets in its hinge and the side which connects to and holds the MagSafe charger in place.

It’s noteworthy that while the MagSafe charger is capable of providing fast wireless charging up to 15W to the newly launched iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro, the Pixel 5 only supports 12W wireless charging.
The MagSafe Charger is just a Qi wireless charger so it is compatible with any smartphone that supports Qi wireless charging but the highlight is the magnetic connection, which is not going to work with every device.
Apart from the MagSafe Charger, Apple has launched a few other MagSafe accessories, including Case, Leather Wallet, and more. The company has also revealed that third-party accessories are coming, confirming that Belkin is already working on a couple of options which also includes a car mount.
