The Best MagSafe Accessories for Your New iPhone

Natively, no. MagSafe won’t work with most Android phones. However, there are MagSafe cases for certain Android phones, like the Google Pixel series or Samsung Galaxy phones, and these cases have a similar (if not the same) magnetic ring inside, allowing you to use many of the same MagSafe power banks, wireless chargers, and other accessories, though your mileage may vary. Several accessory companies also include or sell the MagSafe magnetic component that you can stick to the back of your smartphone to enable compatibility, though I’ve never used one I really like.

The Qi2 wireless charging standard is poised to change all of this. The latest standard has yet to arrive in major Android phones, but you will likely start seeing it more prominently in 2025. (The first Android phone with Qi2 is the HMD Skyline.) Qi2 adds the Magnetic Power Profile, which is based on MagSafe. That means Qi2 phones will feature a similar magnetic attachment system, enabling MagSafe accessories to work with more devices, no case needed.

That’s why you may also start seeing “Qi2” MagSafe devices—the latest iPhones all support Qi2, and any device you buy with Qi2 will offer maximum compatibility.
