Magnetic charging for the OnePlus 13

Since the OnePlus 13 lacks native Qi2 magnets, using a magnetic case enables compatibility with MagSafe accessories. Users can achieve up to 50W wireless charging speeds when pairing the device with an official 80W or higher adapter.

Magnetic charging for the OnePlus 13

Case-based magnetic compatibility

The OnePlus 13 provides 50W wireless charging when users use an official 80W or higher adapter. Because the phone lacks native Qi2 magnets, a magnetic case provides the necessary link to MagSafe and Qi2 accessories. OnePlus President Kinder Liu confirmed that wood-grain covers include a "magnetic suction function" to support this functionality. A magnetic case acts as the bridge between the device and the accessory ecosystem. Users can purchase N52-grade magnet cases from brands like Hensinple or use aramid fiber covers to attach chargers, wallets, and mounts. The Hensinple case is 1.3 millimeters thick and houses magnets strong enough to hold power banks or car mounts. You should ensure the case is thin enough to maintain magnetic pull. Does the lack of built-in magnets limit the choice of high-speed chargers?

Charging speeds and adapters

The charging speed depends on the specific adapter paired with the OnePlus 13. Using the official OnePlus adapter with at least 80W output reaches the full 50W wireless capacity. If a user uses an official adapter below 80W, the maximum wireless charging power drops to 35W. Third-party adapters with PPS specs above 33W limit the wireless charging to 11W.

Adapter Type Max Wireless Power
Official 80W+ Adapter 50W
Official <80W Adapter 35W
Third-Party PPS (>33W) 11W

OnePlus 13 contains a 6000mAh battery and supports 100W wired charging. The included charger supports 5-11V7.3A and 5-11V9.1A. ChargerLAB tests show the phone reaches 50% charge in 13 minutes when using the original 100W charger. For wireless needs, the OnePlus 50W Magnetic AIRVOOC Wireless Charger provides rapid speeds. Zens released the Duo Charger Pro 2 for $79.99, which provides up to 25W of power. The Zens Fold Charger Pro 3 also provides 25W and includes an Apple Watch charger and a tertiary AirPods charger for $129.99. Zens ships these products in mid-October. Ugreen offers the MagFlow Pro, a 10,000mAh power bank that provides 25W wireless output. The Anker MagGo is a 10,000mAh power bank that provides 15W wireless output, while its 30W USB-C port provides a fast wired alternative for users who need to charge their devices quickly.

Magnetic accessories and usage

MagSafe accessories work with the OnePlus 13 once a user fits a magnetic case. Anker MagGo provides 10,000mAh of capacity and 15W wireless output. This Anker model includes a metal frame, a 30W USB-C port, and a built-in kickstand for viewing content. Magnetic wallets from brands like ESR hold up to three cards and stay attached to the phone. The ESR wallet uses strong magnets to prevent detachment and includes RFID blocking to protect cards. Car mounts from brands like Scosche allow for 360-degree adjustment of the phone. However, Scosche’s MagDMB mount requires the use of metal plates because it lacks native MagSafe compatibility. This Scosche mount has over 40,000 customer reviews, but some users claim it falls off easily due to weak adhesive. Users also report that wireless charging generates heat, which may impact battery longevity. The temperature on the back of the phone is 38.2C during charging. Magnetic finger rings from brands like Zbhishe attach to the magnetic case and can function as a mini kickstand. These rings allow for one-handed use on large screens. They come in Grey, Colorful, Silver, and Rose Gold.
