The OnePlus 13 may feature its own version of the iPhone's MagSafe, a top company official said

Kinder Liu, president of OnePlus, posted a screenshot of a conversation between him and an anonymous user on Weibo Liu responded that wood-grain phone cases will be available for the OnePlus 13 and that these cases will have a “magnetic suction feature”

This sounds like OnePlus is incorporating MagSafe, an Apple system that has been available on flagship iPhones since the iPhone 12 series in 2020 MagSafe was originally designed specifically for the iPhone, but Apple The recent introduction of the open Qi2 charging standard, developed in cooperation with Apple, allows any manufacturer to use magnetic alignment wireless charging with their phones

However, as noted by Android Police, earlier OnePlus 13 leaks from Digital Chat Station point to OnePlus designing its own magnetic charging standard that will support chargers and coolers This likely means limited or no compatibility with Qi2 accessories

Also, taking Liu's statement at face value, there may be no magnet inside the phone This is unfortunate because it would make it difficult or impossible to attach magnetic accessories if the user wants to use the phone with a third-party case or even without a case

The OnePlus 12 already allows 50W wireless charging using the OnePlus wireless charging stand, but wireless charging is not available on the less expensive OnePlus 12R If magnetic charging is to make an appearance, we would expect to see new pads and stands that support this standard, and support it in all OnePlus models

The OnePlus 13 should appear in China this year (probably by the end of October or early November), but the rest of the world will likely have to wait until the new year, as with the previous generation Other rumored upgrades to the phone include a larger quad-curve display like previous OnePlus models, but upgraded features such as a triple 50MP camera on the back, up to 24GB RAM, and IP69 dust and water resistance standards
