Tip: You can buy the magnetic ring from an iPhone 12 to make your Android work with MAgsafe accessories

I managed to find a cheap [aftermarket Magsafe adapter](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15W-Magnetic-Magsafe-Fast-Charging-Charger-Pad-For-iPhone12-Pro-Max-12-Mini-UK/203169047999?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=503522548514&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649) that also does Qi at 15w (unlike the official Apple one which only does Qi at about 5w).
