Want to use MagSafe accessories with your Android? Here’s a collection of adapters you can use to do that.
As an Android user, it’s understandable to be curious about Apple’s MagSafe technology. You also might be wondering if MagSafe works with high-end Android phones. The answer is yes! MagSafe is just like Qi wireless charging but with magnets thrown in for alignment purposes. Still, MagSafe is a pretty clever concept, and since there are a lot of interesting third-party MagSafe chargers (and tons of MagSafe accessories) out there, you might be interested in picking one up for your Android device.
To enjoy MagSafe features on your non-Apple phone, you will first need to buy either a MagSafe ring or a MagSafe-compatible phone case. Then, you’ll be able to use MagSafe accessories like power banks, wallets, car mounts, grips, and more. We’ve put both rings and cases in our list below.
-
Nillkin MagSafe Ring Magnet
Editor’s choice
This magnetic ring is only 1.5mm thick and comes with 3M adhesive on the back so that it firmly latches onto the back of your phone or case. The magnet itself is powerful, and the product looks pretty premium. You get two pieces in a pack in black, purple, blue, and white.

Aesthetic pick

It has a matte finish and you can buy it in Black Obsidian, Navy Blue, and Sky Blue colors. The case itself is pretty sturdy and is made of TPU and silicone.
Is it safe to use a MagSafe charger with an Android phone?
As we mentioned earlier, MagSafe is simply a method to align the coil of your wireless charger with the coil inside your phone, upon which your battery gets charged thanks to electromagnetic induction. So, as long as your phone supports wireless charging, you should definitely give this tech a go. Another plus is that you get to use a lot of accessories thanks to the magnet attached to your Android phone.
In our opinion, the best option is to find a MagSafe case for your Android phone, like the Mous MagSafe case above, which we highly recommend if you own a Galaxy S23 Ultra. The best part about a MagSafe case is that you don’t have to stick anything to your phone; plus there’s no risk of it coming off. But then again, going for a PopSocket adapter is such a convenient and affordable way to add MagSafe compatibility to your Android smartphone that it kinda makes sense to go down this route too.
