Realme MagDart brings magnetic wireless charging to Android

Realme has taken the wraps off its MagDart charging technology. The magnetic wireless charging technology is the first for Android, and the new magnetic wireless chargers are faster and thinner than those from Apple.

At the online event, Realme announced several products. They are the Realme Flash, 50W MagDart Charger, 15W MagDart Charger, MagDart Power Bank, MagDart Wallet, MagDart Beauty Light, and the MagDart Case for Realme GT.

Realme Flash

The Realme Flash is a concept Android phone to showcase its MagDart wireless charging technology and the first Android smartphone with support for magnetic wireless charging.

The phone has a dual-curved display with a punch hole at the top left corner. There are three cameras on the back, and a dual-cell 4500mAh battery and a Snapdragon 888 processor reside under the AG Matte finish back panel.

The phone packs Boron and Cobalt magnets that are 0.3mm thin, boast a magnetism decay of 0.01% after two years, and a 5N magnetic force that allows it to hold objects that weigh up to 500 grams. Realme didn’t say if it plans to make the device commercially available.

50W MagDart Charger

The 50W MagDart Charger is the world’s fastest magnetic wireless charger. The charger features a 0.2mm thin extra-large low impedance copper coil that allows it to generate less heat while charging. Regardless, there is still a mini active air cooling fan built into the charger. The charger also has 1.5mm thick magnets.

The charger can refill the Realme Flash from empty to 20% in just 5 minutes while a full charge takes 54 minutes, almost the same duration as the wired 50W SuperDart Charger.

Realme says the 50W MagDart Charger is also the best solution while gaming as the charger can be rotated so that the wire isn’t an obstruction while playing games. You can also use the charger to charge devices that support Qi wireless charging.

15W MagDart Charger

The 15W MagDart Charger is for those who want a charger with a smaller form factor. It is not only thinner than Apple’s MagSafe but also faster. Measuring 3.9mm in thickness which is thinner than four credit cards stacked together and 26.4% thinner than the MagSafe charger.

Realme says it was able to make the charger this thin by using a separate coil and board design. Rather than putting the board in the charging coil, Realme loved it to the charging plug. This design choice also reduces overheating.

While the Apple MagSafe charger will take hours to refill a battery capacity of less than 3000mAh, the 15W MagDart Charger will recharge a 4500mAh battery in 90 minutes.

MagDart Power Bank

Realme knows you won’t always be at a wall outlet, but that doesn’t mean you should miss out on magnetic wireless charging. If you are on the go, you can still enjoy magnetic wireless charging with the MagDart Power Bank. This is Realme’s take on the MagSafe Battery Pack but it is much cooler.

The power bank snaps to the back of the phone and begins charging immediately. It has a power output of 15W, the same as the 15W MagDart Charger.

The MagDart Power Bank also has a base/dock that charges it and allows it to transform into a vertical magnetic wireless charger. When placed on the base, the power bank begins to charge. You can also place your phone on the power bank when in this state.

With respect to its design, the MagDart Power Bank has an aluminum frame and is covered in vegan leather.

MagDart Wallet

The MagDart Wallet is a magnetic accessory that attaches to the back of a phone. Covered in vegan leather, users will be able to store three cards in the wallet. There is also an aluminum kickstand that props the phone up vertically.

MagDart Beauty Light

The MagDart Beauty Light is a magnetic ring (actually square) light accessory that magnetically attaches to the back of a phone with support for magnetic wireless charging.

The 60-LED light can be flipped up to serve as a light source when taking selfies or recording a vlog. There is a button to turn on/off the light and also to adjust the brightness level and color temperature. The MagDart Beauty Light is powered via reverse wireless charging.

MagDart Case for realme GT

The MagDart Case brings the benefit of MagDart to the Realme GT. The case connects to the realme GT’s USB-C port and allows the phone to support magnetic wireless charging.

The case has a black carbon finish that matches the design of the realme GT.

Realme didn’t announce the price tags for these accessories. However, it did say that it plans to open up the MagDart standard to everyone so that people can develop accessories for it and help with its popularity.

Realme is going all out with its MagDart technology, its take on Apple’s MagSafe. We have already seen the MagDart chargers, now renders of the MagDart Wallet which is Realme’s version of the MagSafe wallet. The renders of the new accessory also give us a good look at the Realme Flash, the first Android phone that will have support for magnetic wireless charging.

The images shared by 91Mobiles in partnership with OnLeaks, show the MagDart Wallet comes in white and is covered in vegan leather. It attaches via magnets to the back of the phone and has a built-in aluminum kickstand that can prop the phone up vertically. The wallet will be able to hold up to three credit/debt cards.

The Realme Flash phone is shown to have a design that reminds us of the Vivo X60 as a result of its rear camera arrangement. However, the sensors are more spaced apart. The phone has a silver finish but this may not be the only color variant it will be available in.

MagDart by realme first appeared in a trademark filing early last month. A few days after that, we published an exclusive story with renders of MagDart chargers. One of these chargers and the world’s first magnetic wireless charging Android smartphone – realme Flash emerge in a video shared by XDA Developers.

The video showcases the realme Flash charging via the cube-shaped MagDart charger, which is way larger than Apple’s MagSafe puck. The size of the charger is for a reason.

As per the video, the charger seems to be capable of outputting 50W power. But it seems to be only delivering 35W power to the phone itself.

In the video, the realme Flash takes about 3 minutes to charge from 18% to 26%. Hence, it should charge fully in less than an hour.
