Google's latest Pixel model, the Pixel 10, is believed to have undergone a significant upgrade in charging capabilities, according to another leak.
Google's Pixel 10 Series Set to Revolutionize Wireless Charging with MagSafe-Style Technology
Google's upcoming Pixel 10 series is set to make a significant leap in wireless charging technology, as it is expected to support a MagSafe-style magnetic wireless charging system built directly into the phones. This groundbreaking feature, which eliminates the need for a magnetic case, has been indicated by recent leaks and official-looking renders.
The Pixel 10 series will reportedly support the Qi2 wireless charging standard, which includes built-in magnets for accessory attachment and allows up to 25W wireless charging power. This is a notable advancement, as it closely resembles Apple’s MagSafe experience.
To complement this new technology, Google is rumored to be developing a line of accessories called "Pixelsnap". These accessories, which include magnetic chargers and stands, are designed to work seamlessly with the Pixel 10’s built-in magnets. In essence, they are expected to function similarly to Apple’s MagSafe lineup, providing magnetic alignment and convenient attachment without the need for additional adapters or cases.
This move marks a significant step for Android, as Google appears to be the first major Android manufacturer to implement this kind of seamless magnetic wireless charging experience comparable to Apple’s MagSafe. Official confirmation and product unveilings are expected at Google’s hardware event on August 20, 2025.
In the wake of Google's announcement, other manufacturers, such as Samsung, are reportedly considering adopting MagSafe-style charging on their phones. This could lead to a proliferation of third-party Android accessories designed to work with this technology.
The Pixel 10 series, including the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a, is anticipated to be unveiled on August 20. The addition of magnets for MagSafe-style charging may slightly increase the bulk and cost of devices, but for many users, the convenience and efficiency of this new charging system may outweigh these potential drawbacks.
