Following a bunch of reports and teasers, Realme finally unveiled its Apple MagSafe-like magnetic wireless charging system for smartphones – MagDart. The Chinese giant today showed off the world’s fastest magnetic charging solution, capable of delivering charging speeds of up to 50W. So, let’s take a quick look at the MagDart charging system and the various accessories that Realme announced today.
Realme Flash
Let’s start off with the world’s first Android phone with support for Realme’s MagDart wireless charging system. Realme Flash is a concept phone developed by the Chinese giant to test and demonstrate the MagDart charging system.
#realmeFlash is the First Concept Phone of #realme, developed specifically for the #MagDart wireless charging solution. Featuring a Flagship level dual-cell 4500mAh Battery, it is all-set to go #MagForFuture.
Turning to the first MagDart accessory, the 50W MagDart Charger, as per the company, is the most compact and the most powerful magnetic charger in the industry.
As per Realme, the 50W MagDart Charger can charge the dual-cell 4,500mAh battery of the Realme Flash from 0% to 20% in just 5 minutes. Hence, it shows that the MagDart wireless charging solution is as fast as wired charging.
Alongside the 50W charger, Realme also introduced an ultra-thin 15W MagDart Charger that aims to compete with Apple’s 15W MagSafe chargers. It is only 3.9mm thick and lighter than Apple’s offering, as per Realme Product Marketing Manager Alessio Bradde.
Realme has also introduced a slim and portable MagDart Power Bank that looks pretty similar to the recently launched Apple Battery Pack. It has a dual-cell battery onboard and weighs around 139g, making it a pocketable device. MagDart power bank could be a good alternative to Apple MagSafe Battery Pack.
Apart from the charging accessories, Realme also showcased a MagDart Beauty Light accessory that helps to improve portrait photography. It provides a soft white light using 60 mini LEDs while taking pictures to enhance them.
MagDart Wallet
Next is the MagDart Wallet accessory that we recently saw in leaked renders. As the recent leaks suggested, the MagDart Wallet is a simple accessory that attaches to the back of a smartphone and holds up to 3 debit or credit cards.
Now, as a surprise for Realme GT owners, the company introduced a MagDart Case that is specially designed for Realme GT. It is a pretty nifty accessory that adds MagDart support to Realme GT, which currently does not have MagDart-compatible hardware.
It has a carbon-fiber body along with a full-function USB-C port at the bottom. The case connects to the smartphone via a Type C connector and enables the device to charge using the MagDart technology. Moreover, the USB-C port at the bottom supports the same data transfer speeds and wired charging support as the standard USB-C port on the Realme GT.
These are all the MagDart-compatible devices and accessories that Realme announced today. Along with these, the company also announced the MagDart Fusion Plan, which promises to open the MagDart standard to other OEMs in the future. With this, Realme aims to create a massive ecosystem with MagDart-compatible devices and accessories, especially from third-party manufacturers.
