Google’s Pixel 10 smartphone series are expected to begin later this year, including some notable hardware improvements, including a new tensor G5 chip. A new report states that the company’s upcoming handsets will come with QE2 wireless charging support, and can provide the underlying magnets that allow Google to introduce a new range of magnetic goods. It is expected to offer similar functionality for Apple’s magnetic ecosystem, called Magsafe, which came in October 2020 with the iPhone 12 series.
Google’s ‘Pixelsnap’ magnetic ecosystem may include at least three accessories
Company is working New Qi 2-South Magnetic items According to the Android Authority, it will work with the Pixel 10 series. The publication claim is based on “reliable marketing materials intended to retailers” and Google is asked to work on three new goods for the successors of the current Pixel 9 lineup.
While Apple Magsafe- Branded wireless sells items, according to the report, Google’s ecosystem can be called pixelsnap. The company is said to have been working on a pixelsnap charger, a pixelsnaap charger with a stand and a pixelsnaap ring stand.
The additional reference to a wireless charger “with Qi 2.2” was also seen by publication in an anonymous trade database under the Kodename Stn4. If these claims are accurate, the Pixel 10 series can provide support for wireless charging up to 50W if connected to a compatible QE 2.2 charger.
It is not currently clear that the pixelsnap charger with stand accessory will support any additional abilities when used with pixel 10 series. Apple offers a standby mode on iOS that allows users to see widgets, live activities and photos on their smartphone when a phone is placed horizontally while charging.
Google may be the first Android smartphone manufacturer to offer support for QE 2.2 charging later this year, with the upcoming Pixel 10 series. HMD Skyline was the first Android handset to come with QE2 charging support last year. While the Samsung Galaxy S25 series also supports Q2 charging, it lacks the underlying magnets found on Apple devices that enable support for magnetic goods.
