Yesterday turned out to be a pretty big day for Android phones. Google announced the entire Pixel 10 lineup on August 20, and confirmed that all four new phones will come with Qi2 wireless charging. Like the best iPhones — and unlike Galaxy S25 lineup — this is full Qi2 wireless charging with magnets inside the phone — no cases required.
Officially Qi2 on the Pixel 10 is called "Pixelsnap," but unlike Apple's MagSafe the actual charging doesn't really seem to offer anything different to the Qi2 standard. Instead, Pixelsnap seems to be more focussed on accessories, a bunch of which have been announced alongside the Pixel 10 series.
And it's arguably the most important thing Google has announced for the Pixel 10 series. Here's why.
