Google's Pixel 10 may get magnetic Qi2 charging after all


Google's upcoming Pixel 10 may support wireless Qi2 charging without a case, which would make it the first Pixel model and one of the few Android phones to do so.

A new image from mega-leaker Evan Blass shows a Qi2 charger attached to the back of a naked Pixel 10 device, meaning it likely has the magnets required to support the fast-charging system. Rumors bubbled up last month that Google was working on a new lineup of "Pixelsnap" Qi2 accessories, leading to speculation that the Pixel 10 may debut that much-requested feature. On top of faster charging speeds up to 15 watts or higher in later revisions, Qi2 requires smartphones to have embedded magnets for easy alignment of peripherals.
