Leaked ‘Pixelsnap’ Charging Puck Indicates Google Pixel 10 To Include Qi2 Magnets

The Google Pixel 10 is rumoured to support Qi2 wireless charging, with a recent leaked render indicating that the device might come equipped with integrated magnets for this feature. 

This latest leak, surfacing ahead of the anticipated launch on Aug. 20, indicates that the Pixel 10 will feature built-in magnets to facilitate Qi2 charging. It is also said that Google’s new wireless charging accessories will be branded as "Pixelsnap."

A leaked render of the Google Pixel 10, circulated by renowned tipster Evan Blass (@evleaks), displays the phone in an Indigo colour with a charging puck attached to its rear. 

The device is shown without a protective cover, revealing the antenna lines and the rear camera bulge clearly. This charging puck is believed to be part of Google’s anticipated Pixelsnap accessory range. While it lacks any visible branding, its design is similar to the Pixel Watch 3 charger, albeit larger in size.

An earlier report indicated that Google is developing a Pixelsnap Charger, along with a Pixelsnap Charger with Stand and a Pixelsnap Ring Stand. These accessories are believed to feature Qi 2-supported magnets and are expected to be compatible with the Pixel 10 series. It is worth noting that the existing Pixel 9 model already supports the Qi wireless charging standard.

The Google Pixel 10 is rumoured to be equipped with a Tensor G5 SoC and a 6.3-inch Actua display. It is reported to feature a triple rear camera setup with a 48 MP main sensor, including an upgraded telephoto lens.

The Pro and Pro XL versions of the Pixel 10 range are believed to be powered by the same chipset. The Pro XL is expected to sport a larger 6.8-inch Super Actua display. In terms of cameras, both models are thought to include a triple rear camera system with 50 MP main sensors and 48 MP ultrawide lenses.
