Apple’s MagSafe inspired? OnePlus 13 series to debut magnetic cases and charging: Report

OnePlus is all geared up to launch its much-anticipated OnePlus 13 series smartphones in India on 7th January 2025. According to a report by 91Mobiles, the upcoming series is set to introduce magnetic functionality similar to Apple’s MagSafe, as revealed by details about the official OnePlus 13 series cases. Both the OnePlus 13 and 13R models are expected to feature a “Sandstone Magnetic case,” while the OnePlus 13 will also offer additional options such as a “Wood Grain Magnetic Half-pack case” and an “Aramid Fibre Magnetic case.” The use of the term “magnetic” in these product names indicates that the cases may support magnetic accessories. Furthermore, the new magnetic cases may align with the Qi2 wireless charging standard, enabling compatibility with a wide range of third-party chargers and power banks. Meanwhile, the OnePlus 13R will likely feature slightly pared-down specs, such as a 6.78-inch AMOLED display, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, and a triple-camera setup led by a 50MP lens.
