OnePlus 13 will support magnetic wireless charging, exec confirms
The OnePlus 13 is coming, and it will support magnetic wireless charging, but with a twist. The twist being that it's apparently not going to have magnets inside, but will instead rely on magnetic cases to hook up to magnetic wireless chargers.
This information comes straight from a OnePlus exec on Weibo, but since the original text is in Chinese, we have to rely on machine translation and that can always go awry, so do keep that in mind.
So there's still a chance that the phone itself will have the necessary magnets to make this work, we can't be 100% sure right now. If it's going the case route, then it will be a similar system to those already offered by a myriad case makers that have built products that can turn your regular wireless charging phone into one compatible with MagSafe chargers.
The exec in question has also confirmed that OnePlus will launch wood grain design cases for the OnePlus 13, although the wording strongly hints at these not being made out of real wood, instead simply emulating the look of wood.
The OnePlus 13 is launching later this month with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 at the helm paired with insane amounts of RAM.
