Google’s newly announced Pixel 10 smartphones introduce built-in magnets for Qi2 wireless charging, making the devices compatible with Apple MagSafe accessories and a growing ecosystem of third-party chargers. To support the feature, Google unveiled its own Pixelsnap line, including a magnetic charging puck, ring stand and protective cases, alongside a 67-watt dual-port USB-C power adapter. Charging speeds vary sharply within the range. The larger Pixel 10 Pro XL is the only model certified for 25-watt Qi2 charging, while the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Fold are capped at 15 W. Google says the restriction reflects heat-dissipation limits on smaller handsets; the Pro XL’s chassis and vapor-chamber cooling allow it to handle higher currents safely. The transition to Qi2 has trade-offs. Google has removed its Battery Share reverse-charging feature from the Pixel 10 lineup, explaining that the magnet array needed for Qi2 leaves insufficient space for the coils required to wirelessly power other devices. The company maintains that the change will prolong battery longevity and aligns with its promise of seven years of software updates for the new phones.
