Google Pixel 10 Gains Qi2 Charging, New Pixelsnap Accessory Line

Google unveiled its Pixel 10 smartphone family, the first mainstream Android flagships certified for the Qi2 magnetic wireless-charging standard. The range—comprising the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, 10 Pro XL and the foldable 10 Pro Fold—integrates a ring of magnets that allows accessories to snap into place, mirroring Apple’s MagSafe system and opening the phones to thousands of existing Qi2 and MagSafe add-ons. All models run on the in-house Tensor G5 processor, produced on a 3-nanometer process, and ship with Android 16 and a promise of seven years of software and security updates. Hardware upgrades include brighter Super Actua OLED displays, enhanced AI features such as on-device live call translation, and a new triple-camera system that extends optical zoom to 5x on the entry model and up to 100x digitally on Pro versions. To anchor the Qi2 push, Google introduced a Pixelsnap accessory line. A $69.99 magnetic charging puck delivers up to 25 W on the Pixel 10 Pro XL and 15 W on other variants, and can pair with an optional stand sturdy enough for the unfolded Pro Fold. The company also rolled out magnetic ring stands, cases in new colorways, and a 67 W dual-port USB-C wall adapter. Pre-orders began 20 August, with store availability set for 28 August. Pricing starts at $799 for the Pixel 10, rising to $1,099 for the 10 Pro, $1,299 for the 10 Pro XL and $1,899 for the 10 Pro Fold, positioning Google to compete head-on with Apple’s next iPhone cycle by touting faster wireless charging, extended software support and expanded accessory compatibility.
