Evidence is mounting that Google’s Pixel 10 series will support Qi2 wireless charging, including built-in magnets, finally offering a mainstream Android alternative to Apple’s MagSafe.
The latest sign is a leaked image of the Pixel 10 with what appears to be a magnetic wireless charging puck attached to the back.
It’s part of a selection of leaked images of the Pixel 10 phones, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2A that corroborate previous leaks.
Qi2 is an industry-wide magnetic wireless charging standard based on MagSafe, developed with Apple’s support.
Qi2 was recently upgraded with up to 25W charging speeds, at which point the Wireless Power Consortium announced that “major Android smartphones will join the Qi2 ecosystem.” It looks like the Pixel 10 phones will be the first.
