Huawei’s Mate 80 Could Stay Case‑Free Thanks to New Built‑in Magnet Tech
Huawei once surprised fans with eye‑catching phone cases for its flagship devices, but the latest buzz suggests the company might be taking a different tack. A fresh leak hints that the upcoming Mate 80 could ditch the case entirely, thanks to a unique built‑in magnetic system.
The trend‑setting tip comes from Weibo’s @SmartPikachu, who reports that Huawei has been testing a new magnetic technology in its labs. If the company’s rumours are right, the Mate 80 lineup might feature this tech to boost overall performance.
What Exactly Is “Built‑in Magnetic Tech”?
The specifics are still murky. In the simplest terms, the “built‑in magnetic tech” likely refers to components such as magnet sensors or magnetometers used for audio and wireless charging. These elements create a strong magnetic pull that aligns wireless chargers and accessories accurately – a capability similar to Apple’s MagSafe, where an array of magnets guides the charger into place.
Such a system would ensure that the charging coils are perfectly positioned, leading to faster and more efficient wireless charging. (Source: https://weibo.com/5888095979/Qboh8A9wq?pagetype=profilefeed)

How Might the Magnet Tech Affect Battery Life?
While the idea of case‑free convenience is exciting, the tipster warns that this new magnetic system could squeeze the Mate 80’s battery capacity. Earlier leaks point to a 6000 mAh+ cell pack in the flagship models, but it remains to be seen how the added magnetic hardware will impact that figure. Beyond charging, the other potential uses of this technology are still unclear.
Is the Leak Accurate?
Huawei has not confirmed that any other flagship phone houses this feature, so the leak’s credibility is still up for debate. Until the company makes an official statement, readers will have to take the details with a grain of salt.
What Else is New on the Mate 80?
If the Mate 80 does debut with the new magnetic tech, it will also bring a host of other upgrades over its predecessor. Expect improvements in imaging, display, and chipset that promise a more dynamic user experience than the Mate 70. However, a concrete release date is still unknown.
