OPPO and OnePlus may bring built-in magnetic wireless charging to upcoming mobile phones: Report
Currently, OPPO and OnePlus use separate back covers embedded with magnets to enable magnetic wireless charging on models like the OPPO Find X8 series and the OnePlus 13. These cases allow wireless chargers and compatible accessories to attach securely to the phone's rear surface. Without the magnetic cases, the phones themselves do not have magnets, so accessories cannot attach directly.
A recent report from the well-known tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo reveals that OPPO's parent company plans to build true magnetic wireless charging into future phones. This integration will embed magnetic components beneath the rear panel of the devices, similar to Apple's approach but designed differently to avoid patent issues. The magnetic feature will help keep accessories such as wireless power banks, wallets, car holders, and pop sockets securely attached during use.
At this time, it is unclear if the new magnetic wireless charging system will support the Qi2 standard. OPPO and OnePlus have not shared official details on this aspect. The current solution using magnetic coils in back covers is available for phones including the OPPO Find X8, Find X8 Pro, OnePlus 13R, and OnePlus 13. For example, OnePlus offers a Standstone bumper case with magnets that hold compatible wireless power banks and accessories like the 50W AIRVOOC magnetic charger and the 27W Freezing Point magnetic cooler. However, when the magnetic back cover is removed, these accessories cannot attach directly to the phone.
Although Digital Chat Station has not confirmed which specific models will feature built-in magnetic wireless charging, the technology is expected to debut in flagship devices. The OPPO Find X9 series, likely including models such as Find X9, Find X9 Plus, Find X9 Pro, and Find X9 Ultra, may receive this upgrade. For OnePlus, the upcoming OnePlus 15 is a strong candidate to introduce this feature.

Apple iPad Pro M5 Model Could Launch With Two Front Cameras: Know More
Last Updated: The new iPad Pro model could solve a big issue for the users and reports say Apple could bring the new version later this year. The iPad Pro M5 model is expected to launch in the next few quarters, and Apple is going to make a big change that affects one of its features. The company wants to give people the flexibility to use the front camera on the iPads for calls and meetings, so it plans to add another camera on the front layer to make it possible for you to take calls in portrait or landscape mode. The iPad Pro model is seen as a productivity device so Apple should serve the needs of all its users. iPad Pro M5 Model Changes Expected The report from Bloomberg says iPad Pro users have faced issues using the camera with the M4 model which is available in landscape orientation. They have found it hard to unlock the M4 iPad Pro tablet especially using the Face ID for security for even FaceTime calls. So, instead of changing the position of the camera, the report says Apple will basically add a new sensor in the portrait mode to help people handle these basic tasks. The report talks about Apple rejigging the layout, just so that users don't face these issues with the upcoming model. iPad Pros still rely on Face ID for unlocking the device, while the iPad Air gets Touch ID built into the power button. Apple is likely to bring the M5 iPad Pro later this year, but it could also push the launch to early 2026 which is shaping up to be a big year for the brand. Before that, you also have the iPhone 17 series launch widely tipped for September. The iPhone 17 Pro edition from Apple is tipped to get a host of upgrades, including a new look for the rear camera module, but another big change could be the colour variants for these models. We've seen the company go for brighter shades for the iPhone 15 and 16 series earlier, and now it could be time for the 17 Pro series to get some colourful action. The iPhone 17 Pro prices could start from around Rs 1,30,000 as per reports, which then pushes the 17 Pro Max into the 2 lakh+ territory for the highest variant. view comments First Published: July 21, 2025, 13:51 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
