  • Google’s Pixel 10 series debuts built-in Pixelsnap magnets for Qi2 wireless charging and MagSafe-style accessories.
  • All models support Qi2 at 15W, but the Pixel 10 Pro XL is the only device with Qi2.2 for 25W charging.
  • Pixelsnap works with Google’s new chargers, stands, and cases, plus many MagSafe and Made for Google accessories.

iPhone owners have enjoyed MagSafe for years, letting them snap on magnetic chargers, stands, wallets, and more. Meanwhile, Android users looked a touch of envy. Some brands have tried similar features, but often with compromises like optional magnetic cases. The new Pixel 10 lineup changes that. All four models, including the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, have Pixelsnap magnets built into the phone, making them the first of the big Android brands to be Qi2-ready out of the box.

Pixelsnap makes sticking accessories to your phone easier. What’s more, the magnets inside the phones include a vertical orientation magnet in addition to the circular magnet, allowing for precise orientation.
