Last month Realme presented a charging system that wants to compete with Apple’s MagSafe with wireless magnetic chargers that we tested in EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre. The OnePlus 13 would be the first Android flagship to feature a magnetic charging system in order to confront the same one that Apple uses on its iPhones with MagSafe.
MagSafe, like Qi2, adds a new way to understand the wireless charging experience offering improved functionality and even more flexibility of use. And this is where the magnetic charging system that the OnePlus 13 would use would come into play, which we do not know if it would be the same Qi2; which was announced with this type of charging in 2023, a system that Apple has since brought to its iPhones with MagSafe, and partly with the same technology.
And currently there is a wide variety of Qi2 accessories, although the only compatible mobile phone was the HMD Skyline, a mid-range device that went completely unnoticed. What was expected is that Google will promote this technology in its Pixel 9 recently launched in Europe, but ultimately they did not arrive with this type of technology.
Now it is OnePlus who would bring it closer to Android in a more general way, and he took his official account on Weibo (the Chinese social network) to share a screenshot with several messages in which the support magnetic functionso that even the comment serves as an advertisement for one of the most notable additions of the next OnePlus 13.
Which suggests that the OnePlus 13 would support Qi2, or some form of magnetic charging similar to MagSafe, although the technology it would use has not yet been explicitly confirmed. And it seems that this will not be the only company, since by the end of this year Another manufacturer is expected to include magnetic charging MagSafe type, it is therefore a technology which would begin to be seen more on Android.
The OnePlus 13, according to 9to5Googlewould be presented in China this month and should do so soon do it globally. A mobile phone that would include the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip, which would also be about to be presented, a large capacity battery and an updated design to differentiate itself from the previous OnePlus 12. A mobile phone that will continue to retain attention as happened with its previous models.
