Magnetic charging cable for smartphone

Hardware

Hi all, :wave:

I was wondering what you might think of a magnetic cable used for charging… :thinking:

My smartphone is a Samsung Galaxy A04s and I have put it into a MIKULLE wallet case (https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B0BKZBJNH8/ref=nav_ya_signin?_encoding=UTF8&th=1&language=de_DE&currency=EUR ).
That´s fine with me and I like it a lot. :blush:

For charging we already discussed limiting the maximum charging level on Shutting down an app in android .

That´s also great and I have found a solution which gives me spoken text-messages when a certain pre-defined charging level is reached (automation app).

Yet I need to be able the carry the phone around (if need be) and thus cannot leave it attached to the charging cable all the time.
So what I was looking for is a simple way of attaching and detaching the cable without stressing the usb c port on the phone too much.

So I found magnetic charging cables like this one:

If I understood it correctly, the advantage would be that you could insert the adapter piece into the charging socket (USB-C) of the phone and the cable itself could be quickly and easily plugged in and unplugged using magnetism.
The adaptor piece can stay attached to the phone at all times (which is the real benefit of this method). :+1:

That sounds good. What do you think of this solution :question:

There are people saying that the cable connects to the adaptor with a lot of “sudden force” due to the magnetism and thus the adaptor would receive serious physical hits. That wouldn´t be good as the charging port could detach itself from the circuit board… :thinking:

I don´t know whether this is true at all. Even if so: Wouldn´t it be possible to connect the cable to the adaptor “gently” with a bit of counter-force by my hand :question:

I´m very interested to learn what you might think of the matter.

Many thanks and many greetings from Rosika :slightly_smiling_face:
