OnePlus 13 Series to Introduce Magnetic Cases and Charging, Taking Inspiration from Apple’s MagSafe

On January 7, 2025, OnePlus is prepared to introduce its eagerly awaited OnePlus 13 smartphone in India. 91Mobiles claims that information about the official OnePlus 13 series cases indicates that the next series will feature magnetic capabilities akin to Apple’s MagSafe.

A “Sandstone Magnetic case” is anticipated for the OnePlus 13 and 13R models. At the same time, the OnePlus 13 will also come with extra choices, including a “Wood Grain Magnetic Half-pack case” and a “Aramid Fibre Magnetic case.” Including “magnetic” in these product names suggests that the cases might be compatible with magnetic accessories. This suggests that OnePlus will release new magnetic charging options.

A 50W AIRVOOC magnetic wireless charger and a 5,000mAh magnetic power bank have reportedly been introduced in the Chinese tech giant’s home market. The OnePlus 13 series will probably accompany these accessories in countries like India. The new magnetic cases can also be compatible with various third-party chargers and power banks by adhering to the Qi2 wireless charging standard.

The OnePlus 13 is anticipated to have high-end features, such as a 6.82-inch quad-curved AMOLED display with a resolution of 3168×1440, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and a maximum brightness of 4500 nits, according to many media sources and leaks. With up to 24GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, the smartphone may be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. A 50MP triple-camera system, a 6000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, and an IP68/IP69 durability certification are also planned features.

The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, a 6.78-inch AMOLED display, and a triple-camera configuration with a 50MP lens are the anticipated somewhat reduced specifications of the OnePlus 13R. OxygenOS 15, based on Android 15, will run on both devices.
