Leaked images alongside retail listings have revealed Google’s shift to Qi2 magnetic accessories for the Pixel 10 ahead of its August 20 unveiling.

Overview

  • Official Pixelsnap case images leaked by NieuweMobiel show a central magnetic ring designed to support the Qi2 wireless-charging standard.
  • Marketing listings describe the cases as soft silicone with 45% recycled content, microfiber lining, drop-tested protection, and compatibility with magnetic accessories.
  • Listed case colorways include Indigo, Obsidian, Limoncello, and Frost for the Pixel 10 and Moonstone, Jade, and Porcelain for the Pro and Pro XL models.
  • A separate leaked render shows a Qi2 charging puck attaching directly to the Pixel 10’s back, suggesting the phone itself may include built-in magnets for alignment.
  • Google’s Made by Google event on August 20 will officially unveil the Pixel 10 family, with certain models like the Pro Fold and wearables likely shipping later due to supply constraints.
