Recently, we had reported on Realme filing a new trademark for ‘MagDart.’ While it was only speculated that it could be similar to Apple’s MagSafe, our source has revealed that the MagDart is indeed a magnetic wireless charger.

The source also shared images of the new MagDart series of wireless chargers, which has revealed certain details regarding the upcoming products. Looking at these images, it is clear that the Chinese smartphone maker is working on at least two variants of MagDart wireless chargers. One appears to be noticeably slim, while the other sports a bulkier design. Apparently, the thinner version will offer 15W wireless charging and its body will be sleeker than the Apple MagSafe.

On the other hand, the second MagDart charger is quite a bit larger than this model and will reportedly offer high wireless charging rates that will rival modern wired fast charging tech. We can even observe a grill below its USB Type C port, which is likely for airflow to keep thermals in check during charging. Unfortunately, finer details like the exact charging rates regarding this model are currently unknown, although, the products hints at few interesting things that we can expect in the near future.

First, this would mark the first commercial Android handset featuring magnetic wireless charging like Apple’s MagSafe. In other words, it marks another important milestone in the Android market, especially related to wireless charging tech, and we could expect other OEMs to follow suit.

Secondly, it also implies that Realme will launch a new smartphone that supports MagDart charging, and it could also be working on additional magnetic-based accessories for its future smartphones.

We are expecting more details soon, so stay tuned to Gizmochina.
