Google’s Pixel 10 series debuts Qi2-ready Pixelsnap magnets, with the 10 Pro XL even adding 25W Qi2.2 wireless charging support.

After five generations supporting reverse wireless charging, Google is pulling the plug on Battery Share on the Pixel 10 – for good reason.

Google just revealed something called Pixelsnap at today's Made by Google event. This is the company's answer to Apple's MagSafe technology, so it's a magnetic attachment system that can integrate with Qi2 wireless chargers.

However, I grilled Samsung for coasting with the Galaxy S25 series. And if I were being fair, I’d have to do the same with Google — but I won’t. Both companies have a similar sales pitch: software is the reason you’ll want to upgrade. But while Samsung let me down with Galaxy AI, Google’s done the opposite with Gemini.

Google Pixel 10 series introduces support for Qi2 wireless charging, but it’s the Pixelsnap range of magnetic charging accessories that set them apart from the MagSafe ecosystem for iPhones.

The 6.3-inch Pixel 10 Pro and the 6.8-inch Pixel 10 Pro XL will both feature a Super Actua display with variable refresh rate up to 120 Hz. The displays offer up to 3,300 nits of peak brightness or 2,200 nits peak in HDR, about ten percent brighter than on the Pixel 9 Pro series.

Google follows in Apple's footsteps by nixing support for physical SIM cards from its US Pixel 10 phones. The company says most US Pixel owners already use eSIM.
