This Pixel 10 rumor just gave Google an edge over Samsung and OnePlus


Forget the space zooms and flashy AI features - just give me Qi2 and all the magnetic perks.

While early renders and marketing imagery point to a family of phones that look nearly identical (if not the same) as the last generation, the biggest feature upgrade with the Pixel 10 series may actually be hidden in plain sight. I'm talking about Qi2 certification, the introduced at CES more than two years ago that has yet to gain widespread market adoption due to material costs, lack of user demand, and other reasons, according to brands. While the attempts to circumvent the lack of in-body magnetic adapters are admirable, Google has the perfect opportunity to correct the situation and truly open up an accessory ecosystem that rivals the iPhone.
