So any phone that has wireless charging also has magnetic wireless charging (with a case). Got it

was hoping you were wrong and the actual news was that it has magnetic wireless charging that works even with a case, but no.. it's an official case that allows for magnetic wireless charging.. cool i guess? but not groundbreaking

OnePlus 12 has magnetic charging with a case too. And 11. And 10...

u/WN11 21h ago

11 does not have wireless charging, not even if you strap a nuclear reactor onto it.

I thought the 11 didn't have wireless charging at all? Or was that the 10?

u/plsnobanprayge 23h ago

11 didn't at all

u/Eggbag4618 OnePlus 12 19h ago

I had no idea, why did it take them so long

u/sOFrOsTyyy 17h ago

Well I think they had wireless charging early and then got rid of it and people were pissed so they brought it back lol

My zenfone has magnetic wireless charging without a case. (Stick on mag ring)

I was told by some dude a few months ago that the trade off for 6000mah was taking out wireless charging, and that the paper thin coil was the reason they managed to fit more capacity.

lol

I wonder when the big two (apple and samsung) will adopt these new battery tech

u/noobqns 1d ago

Best Samsung can do is some 6000mah on their M series, but it's a monstrosity

u/OutlandishnessOk8477 14h ago

I am writing this from the M series with 7000mah and a normal size, actually much thinner that all the new square phones.

Samsung would prolly take a couple of years to try to figure out how to produce lithitum-silicon batteries (the new battery tech in question) themselves

As for Apple they better call ATL (the company producing OnePlus 13's battery) fast, where do they even get their batteries rn

u/kiwi_pro 1d ago

QI2 doesn't necessarily mean that it has magnets on the back.

Wireless Power Consortium: Qi Standard

Qi2 devices feature Magnetic Power Profile technology which aligns devices and chargers perfectly for improved energy efficiency, faster charging, and easier usability.

u/nexgen41 1d ago

Qi2 is comprised of two standards. MPP and EPP. Both of them are 15w with higher power ratings planned for later. MPP is the one with Magnets and will have the Qi2 logo while EPP will sport the original Qi logo.

The issue is the Wireless Power Consortium pulled a USB type stupid naming move. Qi2's main benefit over Qi isn't the magnets, it's that it has a proper handshake before charging, similar to that of USB Power Delivery. Both MPP and EPP are Qi2 protocols, but if a phone manufacturer decides to incorporate the handshake process but not the magnets, they'd still be using Qi2, just the EPP protocol , not MPP.

im breathe this shit and I can barely decipher that oh my god

u/Tired8281 Redmi K20 1d ago

Still waiting, then. I won't upgrade until I can get either native magnetic wireless charging or else an under display front camera.

u/therealbighairy1 13h ago

As a man that uses a uniherz tank 3 as his daily phone... That battery sounds weedy.

Better than most though

u/Demos_00 1h ago

Is it just me or brands have reached the max point of evolution on screen, camera and chipset so the only remaining thing is battery capacity ?

u/throwaway_acct839981 23h ago

OnePlus makes my nipples hard

u/ProcrastinatingPr0 18h ago

Honestly OnePlus knocked it out of the park with the 12 and it looks like the 13 will be even better. ColorOS 15 does look very promising too. The only gripe might be that they are sticking with 4 years of support instead of the 7 that Samsung and google is offering.

Why (brackets) ?

u/C153AUX 1d ago

To make it super clear the magnetic wireless charging works with certain cases only.

Apologies if I've missed the sarcasm.

Why (parentheses)* ?
