realme has launched MagDart, a magnetic wireless charging solution, bringing the world’s fastest 50W magnetic wireless charger and and is the first true competitor to Apple’s MagSafe.
At the online event, the company launched realme Flash, the first Android smartphone that supports magnetic wireless charging, 50W MagDart Charger, 15W MagDart Charger, MagDart Power Bank, MagDart Wallet, MagDart Beauty Light, and the MagDart Case for Realme GT.
Realme Flash
The Realme Flash is a concept Android phone to showcase its MagDart wireless charging technology and the first Android smartphone with support for magnetic wireless charging.
The phone has a dual-curved display with a punch hole at the top left corner. There are three cameras on the back, and a dual-cell 4500mAh battery and a Snapdragon 888 processor reside under the AG Matte finish back panel.
The phone packs Boron and Cobalt magnets that are 0.3mm thin, boast a magnetism decay of 0.01% after two years, and a 5N magnetic force that allows it to hold objects that weigh up to 500 grams. Realme didn’t say if it plans to make the device commercially available.
50W MagDart charger
The 50W MagDart Charger is the world’s fastest magnetic wireless charger. The charger features a 0.2mm thin extra-large low impedance copper coil that allows it to generate less heat while charging.
The 50W MagDart charger features an active air cooling system that keeps the mainboard and coil temperatures at a reasonable level with a compact and powerful fan that can quickly remove heat by drawing a large airflow into the charger so that it can maintain the charging power at a high level for a longer time.
It also separates these two sources of heat generation, thus reducing the heat generation situation and thus providing longer high power charging hours, which can charge the 4500mAh battery from 0 to 100% in 90 mins, much faster than its rival.
The charger also has 1.5mm thick magnets.
Realme says the 50W MagDart Charger is also the best solution while gaming as the charger can be rotated so that the wire isn’t an obstruction while playing games. You can also use the charger to charge devices that support Qi wireless charging.
15W MagDart Charger
The charger can refill the Realme Flash from empty to 20% in just 5 minutes while a full charge takes 54 minutes, almost the same duration as the wired 50W SuperDart Charger.
The 15W MagDart Charger is only 3.9mm, 26.4% thinner than the MagSafe Charger, but is still faster than MagSafe due to its Separated Coil & Board design. It sets the mainboard and the coil at the two ends of the charging plug and the charging pad respectively, thus making the charging pad thin with only one charging coil.
While the Apple MagSafe charger will take hours to refill a battery capacity of less than 3000mAh, the 15W MagDart Charger will recharge a 4500mAh battery in 90 minutes.
MagDart Power Bank
Realme knows you won’t always be at a wall outlet, but that doesn’t mean you should miss out on magnetic wireless charging. If you are on the go, you can still enjoy magnetic wireless charging with the MagDart Power Bank. This is Realme’s take on the MagSafe Battery Pack but it is much cooler.
The power bank snaps to the back of the phone and begins charging immediately. It has a power output of 15W, the same as the 15W MagDart Charger.
The MagDart Power Bank also has a base/dock that charges it and allows it to transform into a vertical magnetic wireless charger. When placed on the base, the power bank begins to charge. You can also place your phone on the power bank when in this state.
With respect to its design, the MagDart Power Bank has an aluminum frame and is covered in vegan leather.
MagDart Wallet
The MagDart Wallet is a magnetic accessory that attaches to the back of a phone. Covered in vegan leather, users will be able to store three cards in the wallet.
There is also an aluminum kickstand that props the phone up vertically.
MagDart Beauty Light
The MagDart Beauty Light is a magnetic ring (actually square) light accessory that magnetically attaches to the back of a phone with support for magnetic wireless charging.
The 60-LED light can be flipped up to serve as a light source when taking selfies or recording a vlog. There is a button to turn on/off the light and also to adjust the brightness level and colour temperature. The MagDart Beauty Light is powered via reverse wireless charging.
MagDart Case for realme GT
The MagDart Case brings the benefit of MagDart to the Realme GT. The case connects to the realme GT’s USB-C port and allows the phone to support magnetic wireless charging.
The case has a black carbon finish that matches the design of the realme GT.
