While we know that Android smartphones have been able to support wireless charging for some time, at the same time we realize that there is still significant room for improvement. Unlike iPhones, flagship Android devices in the market often lack the proper magnets to properly align the charging coils, which would help with more efficient charging. But that could change soon with the launch of the Oppo Find X8 series and the Xiaomi 15 series.
The news is brought to us by Weibo tipster @Digital Char Station, who claimed that Oppo has developed a magnetic powerbank. He added that the entire Oppo Find X8 series includes magnets and can be connected to the power bank to offer the charging experience similar to Apple’s MagSafe. He also shared an image of this Oppo portable battery, which you can see below:
According to reports, Xiaomi has also prepared a “very thin” 30W magnetic wireless charger this time. In particular, Xiaomi’s ultra-thin 30W magnetic wireless charger has passed China’s CQC certification. The wireless charger has the model code MDY-17-EY, which supports 65W input and 30W maximum wireless output. Currently, Xiaomi officially sells three models of magnetic powerbanks with three design styles: a model with a built-in base hole, an ordinary magnetic model and a vertical split design model, priced at 249 yuan, 129 yuan and 199 yuan respectively.
We’ve already seen Pixel devices run into compatibility issues with Google’s Pixel Stand wireless chargers. This is an unavoidable evil when devices equip the charging coils in different positions. However, this can be fixed by adding magnets as it can hold the coils in place and also hold the weight of the phone.
