The magnetic charging is prominently featured in the nubia Z40 Pro’s promo pages, but in reality, not all phones will have it. There’s a limited “Gravity Edition”, which comes with a slightly smaller 4,600 mAh battery and supports 66W fast-charging through the wire. It is also a bit more expensive.
The other versions of the Z40 Pro come with 5,000 mAh cell, 80W wired charging support, and no magnets in the back.
