The upcoming Oppo Find X8 series will reportedly come with a magnetic wireless charging feature similar to Apple’s MagSafe technology. This claim was shared on Weibo by Digital Chat Station, which frequently reports on Chinese smartphone manufacturers.
It looks like Oppo will be taking inspiration from not just Apple’s Camera Control button but also other features for this year’s flagship models. The company is also expected to offer a range of accessories and chargers that use magnetic technology like Apple.
The Find X8 models will not stop there and will have their own Dynamic Island design. This will further increase Oppo’s resemblance to Apple. The Dynamic Island-like design touch was also recently seen thanks to a leak.
Xiaomi has also developed a 30W “ultra-thin” magnetic wireless charger, but it’s not yet clear whether it’s designed for new phones or something else. For now, only Oppo phones are known for the technology.
Oppo Find X8 series will most likely go official in October
The Oppo Find X8 and Find X8 Pro will be powered by MediaTek’s upcoming Dimensity 9400 chipset. Both models are expected to be launched in October.
Oppo’s new flagship Find X8 series adopting many Apple features is a big step in terms of technological developments. In particular, magnetic wireless charging technology will make the devices even easier to use. This feature, known for Apple’s MagSafe technology, shows that Oppo is following a similar path to improve the user experience. This step by Oppo is also considered a strategy specifically targeting Apple users.
