- Google is working on an ecosystem of magnetic Qi 2.2 accessories for the Pixel 10 series under the “Pixelsnap” name
- Planned accessories include a magnetic charger, a charger with stand, and a “Ring Stand”
- The feature, combined with the Hub Mode, which might be coming to phones, could make the Pixel 10 a small smart display while charging, similar to iPhones with Standby Mode
One of the most requested features for smartphones right now is Qi 2 support with magnets. Even though Apple donated its MagSafe technology to the Wireless Power Consortium in early 2023, virtually no Android phones currently support it. It looks like Google’s about to finally change that with the Google Pixel 10 series.
Android Authority has viewed credible marketing materials intended for retailers that show that Google is working on a few magnetic Qi 2 accessories meant for the upcoming Pixel 10.
