With the launch of the OnePlus 13 expected later this month, details about the upcoming flagship continue to trickle out. This time, it’s about a feature that has been gaining attention in the Android world lately, magnetic wireless charging.
The revelation came in a bit unusual way. On China’s social media platform Weibo, Liu responded to a fan’s question about the return of bamboo cases for the OnePlus 13, a popular material for early OnePlus phones.
Lee made it clear that wooden cases aren’t returning as there is “no plan for this CMF” for the time being. But he did mention wood grain cases for the OnePlus 13, which he says feel “very good.”
OnePlus 13 will have magnetic wireless charging
More interestingly, he revealed that these cases include a “magnetic suction function,” suggesting that the OnePlus 13 will support magnetic wireless charging.
OnePlus’ sister brand, Oppo, is also jumping on the magnetic charging train with its upcoming Find X8 series. Oppo is even prepping a range of magnetic accessories, including a power bank. Looks like OnePlus 13 users will also be able to tap into that ecosystem, expanding their charging options.
Beyond charging, the magnetic system opens doors for other accessories like car mounts and wallet cases. It’s a way to offer a more integrated user experience, similar to what Apple has done with MagSafe.
Leaks so far suggest that the OnePlus 13 will feature a slightly curved 2K LTPO display, the latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 flagship processor, a triple 50MP rear camera setup, and a large 6,000mAh battery. The phone is expected to support 100W fast wired charging, along with 50W magnetic wireless charging.
OnePlus will likely follow it’s usual release pattern for the OnePlus 13. That is, a China launch first, followed by a global rollout. We’ll keep you updated as more details emerge.
