Realme Flash could be the first Android smartphone in the world to come with support for magnetic charging
Realme, one of the fastest-growing smartphone brands, may soon become the first to bring the magnetic wireless charging feature to Android, a feature seen only on Apple’s iPhone 12 gadgets.
As per Mashable India, Realme has begun work on a new smartphone dubbed the ‘Realme Flash’, with which it could introduce the magnetic wireless charging feature for the first time in an android gadget. A GSMArena blog claims that the Realme Flash could be the first Android smartphone in the world to come with support for magnetic charging as it will come with Realme MagDart- which is also expected to launch alongside the new device.
According to Mashable India, this will be similar to Apple’s MagSafe wireless charging tech, as the “Realme MagDart will clip onto the back of the phone and charge the device.”
However, Realme’s MagDart puck may possibly be bigger in size than Apple’s MagSafe. It will apparently include a fan to keep the device’s temperature in check.
The report also added that the “charging speeds will be more than 15W and that Realme’s MagDart tech will be the fastest magnetic charger in the world once it launches. Apart from this, the charger will also feature a USB-C connector.”
Interestingly, the Realme Flash reportedly is set to feature a curved screen with a punch-hole cutout in the top-left corner of the display. This cutout will hold the front-facing camera of the phone. Under the hood, the phone will reportedly come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 chipset with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage.
Speaking about the back of the phone, it will feature a triple-camera setup like iPhone 12’s expensive handset and is expected to come running Android 11-based Realme UI on top.
