Google is launching its first magnetic wireless charging accessories

Google announced a handful of Qi2 accessories taking advantage of its new MagSafe alternative called Pixelsnap.

With its new Pixel 10 Series, Google is finally embracing the Qi2 wireless charging standard, making it much easier to securely attach wireless chargers thanks to a ring of magnets built into the device. That also makes the new phone compatible with the many MagSafe and Qi2 accessories already on the market — so naturally, Google is introducing its own options, too.

The magnetic Pixelsnap Charger can be used with a stand accessory that also supports the new Pixel 10 Pro Fold.

The Pixelsnap Charger is a wireless charging puck that looks similar to Apple’s own MagSafe charger and is compatible with other Qi2-certified devices. It supports wireless charging speeds up to 25W when paired with the Pixel 10 Pro XL and can be purchased with an optional stand accessory that’s sturdy enough to support the Pixel 10 Pro Fold while it’s unfolded and allows the charging puck to be detached as needed.

Put a ring on it! Google’s new magnetic stand can support Pixel 10 devices horizontally or vertically.

If you’re eager to upgrade to one of the new Pixel 10 Series devices and aren’t already eyeing one of PopSockets’ magnetic grip accessories, the Pixelsnap Ring Stand offers similar functionality. You can prop up your device using its fold-out metal ring, while a soft microfiber lining between the accessory and your phone lets you rotate the stand for changing its orientation without having to completely remove it.

Google is also introducing a collection of Pixelsnap cases compatible with the new magnetic functionality. The cases for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold include moonstone, jade, and obsidian color options, while the 10 Pro XL adds a porcelain option, and the 10 and 10 Pro add indigo, frost, and lemongrass versions.

The Pixel Flex charger can power up two devices simultaneously but will detect and prioritize Pixel devices.

And because wireless charging isn’t truly wireless — you still need a tether to a power source — Google is releasing a new dual port adapter. The Pixel Flex Dual Port 67W USB-C Fast Charger features folding prongs for portability and a “proprietary algorithm that intelligently identifies andprioritizes charging Pixel phones” with two devices connected. It’s not the smallest or fastest multiport charger you can buy, but it’s got a sleek design if you’re not into branding.
