Apple brings wireless charging on its products like iPhones from its MagSafe technology. But now, Android brands are also bringing a similar feature on their next gen flagship smartphones. So here’s a list of 3 upcoming Android smartphones with magnetic wireless charging and how you can experience it yourself as well.

Oppo’s Magnetic Wireless Charger

OnePlus 13

One of the first to be confirmed with Magnetic Wireless Charging is the OnePlus 13. In a recent teaser, Liu responded to a fan’s question about the return of bamboo cases for the OnePlus 13. He made it clear that no wooden cases are returning but he revealed that there is a new case with a “magnetic suction function”.

This may include an ultra thin magnetic case, portable magnetic power banks, and 50W magnetic chargers. These accessories would likely be compatible with products from other brands like iPhones. So the OnePlus 13 would likely work with these accessories as well.

Xiaomi 15

While wireless charging has been a thing for some time now on Android phones, the magnetic charging coils would be a new addition. Apple is best known for this technology, but Oppo, OnePlus, and Xiaomi may be the first to introduce such technology to Android phones.

Like the OnePlus 13 and Oppo Find X8, the Xiaomi 15 is also expected to debut with magnetic wireless charging that mirrors Apple’s MagSafe. Xiaomi has reportedly prepared a 30W ultra thin magnetic wireless charger, which is in line with the other two devices as well.

How to experience Magnetic Wireless Charging right now?

While MagSafe is an Apple trademark, MagSafe works with Qi wireless charging so it isn’t exclusive to Apple devices. So as long as your Android phones support Qi wireless charging, they can run MagSafe accessories. With third party manufacturers, Android users can get access to the magnet that helps you connect your device to MagSafe compatible cases or adapters.

Anker is one such brand that offers MagSafe products while others companies have cases with a magnetic ring or sell magnetic rings separately. These basically helps your Android phone function similar to an iPhone on a MagSafe charger.
