The absence of an integrated magsafe magsafe magsafe magnetic accessories has been a major bugbear for Android users in recent years, but Google has finally started an exclusive pixel alternative to Apple popular iPhone technology.
Pixelsnap is an ecosystem of magnetic magnetic accessories Qi2.2 for the entire Google Pixel 10 line. Like Magsafe, it allows you to attach chargers, stands, handles and other wireless accessories at the back of any Pixel 10 phone, their integrated magnetic rings facilitating the load up to 25 W (the pixel 10, 10 pro and 10 pro Fold are capped at 15 W, 10 Pro XL Pixel 10 W 25W).

But, above all, Pixelsnap is also compatible with the existing Magsafe accessories from Apple and third -party brands like Belkin, which is a more important affair than it seems.
Apple did not keep the portage of its Magsafe technology; He actually helped develop the Qi2 wireless load standard in 2023, which uses magnetic alignment to facilitate faster load on mobile devices.
Until now, however, the HMD horizon line has been the only Android phone to come with integrated magnets to fully support the Qi2 standard.
Recent high -end Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and OnePlus 13 are technically ready for Qi2, but they do not have integrated magnets – you must buy a compatible case (or an adhesive ring) with a magnetic mounting system to use their Qi2 capacities.
