Magdart: When Realme is inspired by Apple Magsafe technology

Not to say a copy… This Tuesday, August 3, the Chinese manufacturer has indeed unveiled its own magnetic wireless charging system, which is also accompanied by a range of accessories.Presentations.

It did not have to wait long before seeing the competition attacking Apple's latest innovation.Because it was not until last October, that the famous apple brand revealed with its new iPhone 12 a clever and practical technology: Magsafe.A magnetic system which, thanks to magnets arranged in a circle inside the smartphone, is used both for wireless recharge and to keep various accessories on the back of the device, safely.A double functionality which, without surprise, therefore quickly inspired other manufacturers.

As it is rumored that OPPO would be on the spot, it was ultimately Realme who drew the first.The rumors announced it for a few days, and indeed, this Tuesday, August 3, the young Chinese manufacturer organized a large conference to reveal in turn a magnetic technology, obviously very inspired: Magdart.But the brand, known for its "Flagship Killers" Realme X50 Pro and the most recent realme GT, already compatible with rapid charging called Superdart, did not do in half-measures since it also presented a whole ecosystemwho does not have to be ashamed of what Apple offers, on the contrary.Various accessories on the one hand, we will come back to it, then especially not only one, but two wireless refills solutions.

Magdart, much faster than Magsafe?

The first is very similar to the Magsafe of the Californian giant.Round in shape and a power of 15 W too, this first Magdart intends to stand out from the charger stamped with the crunched apple.Because if he recognizes the effort of innovation, believing that he "started a new era of magnetic wireless charging", Realme did not hesitate to point the finger at the naughty defect of the Apple product: "A time ofextremely slow load ".And to announce that its apparently identical solution, would be able to load 100% a battery of 4,500 mAh at 100% in just 90 minutes - against no less than 4 hours for the magnetic wireless charger of theiPhone 12, with a battery of less than 3,000 mAh ... while this Magdart is also finer, only thick 3.9 mm (against 5.3 mm), this load speed would be made possibleDue to the separation of the coil and the integrated circuit, two sources of heat.This would reduce the risk of overheating, and therefore load maximum power longer, as the manufacturer explained during his conference.

Then, as we said Realme did not do things by halves, presenting a second magnetic wireless charging solution.Also called Magdart, it is even faster than the first.This time square in shape, and much more imposing, it would be able to reach a power of 50 W to recharge the same battery of 4,500 mAh in less than an hour in block.A feat achieved thanks to the installation of a fan as a cooling system, hence the thickness of the object, which is counted in centimeters ... The Chinese manufacturer nevertheless believes that this solution would be likely to interest gamers,which could continue their mobile game part while the smartphone is in charge, without being disturbed by a cable or fear overheating of the device.

Already several Magdart accessories

And that's not all.Realme did not just present these two Magdart chargers at his conference, but also some accessories compatible with this magnetic technology.A portfolio, a shell and an external battery on the one hand, like what Apple already offers in its Magsafe ecosystem, and a tool this time really innovative on the other hand, which should appeal to influencers: a Magdart BeautyLight, or a lighting system to enhance the photos or videos taken in selfie, which will therefore cling directly to the back of the smartphone.Which brings us to the last point.Because it is all all good, but the question is now which device will actually benefit from this magnetic technology?

Well the Chinese brand has planned its blow well, since it took the opportunity to announce its next shock model: Realme Flash, thus presented as "the first Android phone with magnetic wireless recharge".While Realme GT will also be able to benefit from this technology thanks to the hull provided for this purpose, the manufacturer has not given more details for the moment.We will certainly have to wait until the official presentation of his next flagship to know the release date, both of the smartphone and all these Magdart products, as well as their price ... and we would not be surprised to see, D'Here, other brands present their own wireless charging solutions and other magnetic accessories...

In the meantime, you can already find the one who inaugurated this new magnetic era, Magsafe technology, on the SFR shop.While you will not only find the charger there but also compatible shells, it goes without saying that before falling for these accessories you need a compatible iPhone 12 ... The whole series, from min to pro max, is obviously also availableChez SFR.
