Apple‘s MagSafe technology has been a staple for its iPhones. However, the Qi2 standard that supports magnetic wireless charging is still a rarity on Androids. Oppo and OnePlus took advantage of certain cases to launch some magnetic accessories in the recent past, but a fresh report claims that the next-gen smartphones might feature this technology without needing a special protective cover.
Future OnePlus & Oppo Phones May Support Magnetic Wireless Charging
The news arrives from known Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, who shared the details on Weibo. In the online post, he claimed that Oppo (and likely OnePlus) is developing true magnetic wireless charging for its future devices. The Oppo Mag (vs MagSafe) line of accessories released in China was only compatible with cases with built-in magnets, but future models would house it within their chassis.
This technology will likely make its debut in premium next-gen smartphones like the OnePlus 15 or the Oppo Find X9 series. DCS further adds that Oppo is working on the technology with a new design that will allow it to avoid Apple’s MagSafe patent. But regardless of how it sounds, it won’t be compatible with actual MagSafe compatible accessories from Apple or third party sellers like Anker.
The tipster stated that the source close to the matter said that this technology will take up space in the internals, causing a slight shrinkage in battery size. But this is where the silicon carbide (SiC) battery tech comes in. Oppo would’ve been able to pack a massive 6,800mAh or 7,000mAh battery pack without this magnetic tech. So the capacity might not push the ludicrous figures in next gen models.
