When Google announced the Pixel 10’s Pixelsnap accessory ecosystem, the one thing that drew my attention was the new Pixelsnap Charger with Stand (). I’ve always wanted a Pixel Stand but never made the plunge on the older models, thinking a better option would come. This new one, with its promised Qi2.2 25W compatibility with my Pixel 10 Pro XL, seemed perfect. So I took the plunge and bought it.

This mistake cost me $70, so let my story be a cautionary tale for you: You shouldn’t buy this charger for your Pixel 10 Pro XL. It’s a basic wireless charger that, yes, can go up to 25W wirelessly, but does so at the expense of terrible heat dissipation. And it doesn’t offer anything special that other Qi2 25W chargers can’t do — as a matter of fact, it does less.
