Android smartphones are set to get a significant upgrade in wireless charging technology with the upcoming OPPO Find X8 and Xiaomi 15 series, both expected to feature magnetic wireless charging. Historically, Android devices have struggled with optimal coil alignment, unlike iPhones which use magnets to enhance charging efficiency. This challenge might soon be resolved as these flagship models embrace this game-changing tech.
According to renowned Weibo tipster, Digital Chat Station, OPPO has developed a magnetic power bank designed specifically for the Find X8 series. This allows the phone to securely attach and charge, similar to Apple’s MagSafe. A leaked image of OPPO’s magnetic power bank also gives us a glimpse of what to expect.
Xiaomi is not far behind, reportedly preparing an ultra-thin 30W magnetic wireless charger. This device has passed China’s CQC certification, with a model number MDY-17-EY, supporting 65W input and 30W output. Xiaomi’s diverse range of magnetic power banks further cements its commitment to this technology.
While the magnetic wireless charging feature promises enhanced convenience and faster charging times, it remains unclear if these devices will support the Qi2 wireless charging standard. Nonetheless, these innovations are set to bring Android flagships closer to a seamless, efficient charging experience—something that has long been a challenge for the platform.
Both OPPO and Xiaomi’s integration of magnetic wireless charging could redefine the Android charging experience, making on-the-go charging smoother and more efficient than ever before.
