Oppo’s next flagship series, the Oppo Find X10, is still months away, but early leaks are already pointing to a potentially practical change: built-in magnets.

According to Weibo tipster Smart Pikachu, Oppo may introduce what’s described as a “domestically produced magnetic closure” in the second half of 2026. While the wording is vague, most observers believe this refers to integrated magnets inside the phone itself , similar to Apple’s MagSafe system.

If that’s the case, it would mean magnetic accessories could attach directly to the phone without requiring a special case.

Oppo could be moving beyond “Qi2 ready” standard

Oppo‘s recent flagships have supported Qi2, but only in a limited way. The devices are often marketed as “Qi2 ready,” meaning they can work with magnetic wireless charging, but only when paired with a compatible magnetic case.

Built-in magnets would simplify that. Accessories like wireless chargers, power banks, and wallets could snap into place directly on the phone. For users already invested in magnetic ecosystems, that removes an extra step.

The Find X10 series is expected to launch in China in the second half of 2026, likely around Q3 or Q4. Smart Pikachu’s wording also mentions “the second half of the year,” which suggests the magnets could arrive with the Find X10 series.

If Oppo does integrate magnets directly into the chassis, it would make it one of the first major Chinese brands to move in that direction natively rather than relying on cases.

Magnetic accessory ecosystems are slowly gaining traction across Android as Qi2 adoption spreads. But full integration still isn’t standard.

Camera and performance upgrades are also expected for the Find X10 lineup, based on other leaks. But practical changes like built-in magnets sometimes matter more long-term than headline specs.

For now, it remains a rumor. Still, it’s an interesting one, especially if Oppo is looking to differentiate in a premium segment where most hardware already feels similar. We’ll likely know more closer to launch.
