On February 14, taking advantage of the momentum of Valentine's Day, Nubia officials warmed up a new magnetic charging technology on Weibo, and announced that the technology will be launched on the high-end flagship Z40 Pro, which is also the first model in the Android camp to carry and commercialize similar to Apple's MagSafe charging function.
As the name suggests, the so-called magnetic charging, in fact, is an upgraded version of wireless charging, when the back of the mobile phone is close to the magnetic charger, the magnets inside the fuselage attract each other to achieve a precise, firm and stable fixing effect, so as to achieve more efficient wireless charging.
In the process of using wireless charging, we often because the charging coil of the mobile phone is not accurate with the charging board, which affects the efficiency of fast charging, and magnetic charging can solve this problem very well. In addition, magnetic wireless charging can also meet the needs of users while charging, Xiaolei expects that magnetic wireless charging is likely to become the next competitive outlet for Android smartphones.
In fact, realme released the "Android version of MagSafe" much earlier than Nubia, the related charging technology, peripheral supporting and other completion degrees are higher, but on commercial, it seems to be a step slower than Nubia. Xiao Lei believes that it does not matter who starts first, what is important is to do a good job of magnetic absorption technology, and not to become a kind of chicken rib "selling point" that can only be charged.
It is worth noting that due to relevant regulations, the power of wireless charging of mobile phones should not exceed 50W, that is, we cannot see that magnetic charging exceeds wired charging for one day, but it provides a path for the development of smart phones without porosity.
In the past, magnetic wireless charging is Apple's exclusive feature, iPhone 12, iPhone 13 series are standard with MagSafe magnetic wireless charging technology, because the back of the phone has a magnet, even if not charged, there are similar physical card packs, brackets, charging treasures and other MagSafe accessories, high availability.
In Xiao Lei's view, the magnetic absorption function should not be limited to the charging scene. Nubia's first magnetic charging technology is very good, but we should also consider the application areas other than charging, such as the combination of magnetic heat dissipation back clips, charging treasures and other products, expand more scenes using magnetic functions, the surrounding support is rich, and the setting of "magnetic absorption" can be played as vividly as Apple.
Of course, because the back of the phone has an extra circle of magnetic magnets, which means that the weight of the fuselage will be slightly heavier than the conventional flagship machine, Xiao Lei believes that Nubia's Z30 Pro, in terms of industrial design and feel, can be regarded as a feature, and hopes that the introduction of magnetic function will not be at the expense of the feel.
