Chinese smartphone maker nubia has been lately releasing a wide variety of chargers for different types of products. The latest such accessory from the brand is a MagSafe charger for the Apple iPhone 12 series. Apple reintroduced MagSafe with the launch of the iPhone 12 series late last year. All four new iPhones come with a magnetic ring on the back for MagSafe wireless charging.
Initially, there was only a single
official MagSafe charger from Apple. Soon, a plethora of MagSafe chargers and
accessories from third-party companies hit the market. ZTE’s nubia has been
selling normal chargers for the iPhones for a while now. The brand has now
expanded its portfolio by adding a MagSafe charger for the iPhone 12 series
(iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max).
The new nubia MagSafe charger costs only
¥ 119 (US$ 18) in China but it comes with a caveat. Looks like it is not an
MFi-certified accessory. Hence, despite supporting 15W output, it can charge
the iPhone 12 series only at 7.5W. However, other smartphones with 15W Qi
wireless charging support can make use of the product’s maximum capacity. As
far as inputs are concerned, the accessory supports the following input rates –
5V/2A, 9V/2A, and 12V/2A.
Further, it is a mere 8mm thin and is
compatible with magnetic case-equipped iPhone 12 models. It has all the safety
measures like over-current protection, over-voltage protection,
over-temperature protection, short circuit protection, power protection,
under-voltage protection, over-charge
protection, magnetic field protection, and foreign object detection.
Last but not least, the charger comes in a
single white color option with a 1.5m cable.
