Google Pixel 10 Series to Support Qi2.2 Charging With New Pixelsnap Magnetic Ecosystem

Google will integrate alignment magnets into official Pixel cases to support up to 50W of snap-on wireless charging.

Google is expected to launch the Pixel 10 series on August 20

Overview

  • The Pixel 10 lineup is scheduled to debut on August 20, 2025, bringing native hardware support for the Qi2.2 wireless-charging standard.
  • Pixelsnap will launch with three magnetic accessories—a standalone charger, a charger with stand and a ring stand—designed for seamless snap-on attachment.
  • Magnets for the Magnetic Power Profile are built into Google’s official Pixel 10 cases rather than inside the phones themselves.
  • Compatible Qi2.2 chargers can deliver wireless power at rates up to 50W, and existing MagSafe and third-party Qi2 accessories should work with the new devices.
  • By adopting Qi2.2 and magnet-aligned charging, Google follows earlier Android entrants like HMD and Samsung while enhancing cross-platform accessory compatibility.
