Google Pixel 10 Embraces Qi2 Magnetic Charging
Recent leaks from reliable tipster Evan Blass reveal that Google’s upcoming Pixel 10 will support magnetic Qi2 wireless charging with built-in phone magnets.
The leaked photo shows a bright blue Pixel 10 base model with a circular charging puck snapped directly onto its back.
Understanding Qi2 Magnetic Charging
Qi2 is the industry standard for magnetic wireless charging, born from Apple’s MagSafe innovation and governed by the Wireless Power Consortium.
- Aligned magnets ensure precise placement
- Supports up to 25W charging speeds
- Streamlines accessory compatibility across brands
PixelSnap Accessory Ecosystem
This charging puck likely belongs to Google’s PixelSnap lineup, which includes cases and docks designed for seamless magnetic attachment without extra fixtures.
Why It Matters
With built-in magnets, the Pixel 10 offers a true Android alternative to MagSafe, avoiding case dependencies seen on some Samsung models and simplifying the user experience.
- Faster and more reliable wireless charging
- Cleaner device design without added bulk
- Expanded third-party accessory potential
Earlier Android phones required cases to house magnets, but Google’s direct integration paves the way for broader Qi2 adoption in the Android ecosystem.
Next Steps for Google
Rumors suggest the Pixel 10 may be slightly thicker and heavier to accommodate magnetic modules, aligning with recent trends toward robust wireless charging.
As Google prepares for its next Pixel event, businesses and accessory makers should watch Qi2 support closely to design compatible products and stay ahead in the mobile charging landscape.
