Google’s anticipated to unveil the Pixel 10 series on August 20, and primarily based on the leaks we have seen thus far, these will look virtually similar to their predecessors from 2024. However the firm goes to pack them with some very attention-grabbing updates on the within – the Tensor G5 chipset would be the first one made by TSMC and never Samsung, which ought to enhance efficiency and battery life; gimbal-like camera stabilization appears to be in too.
And likewise magnets. A brand new report claims the Pixel 10 units will help Qi 2.2 wi-fi charging with magnets constructed into the telephones themselves, similar to Apple does it. Google has even ready a trademark for its upcoming magnetic equipment: Pixelsnap (as they snap on).

Up to now it looks as if there will likely be three Pixelsnap equipment at launch: a magnetic charger, a charger with a stand, and a “Ring Stand”. The charger will simply be a charger, the one with the stand, properly, it can have a stand, whereas the “Ring Stand” would be the charger with the stand with out the charger.
The Pixels may change into sensible shows whereas charging when mixed with a Pixelsnap charger (or any Qi2-compatible charger) as Google is engaged on bringing Hub Mode to telephones, so we might have one more similarity to how Apple does issues (with the Standby Mode on this case).
The important thing acronym within the screenshot above, taken from an unnamed commerce database, is “MPP”, which stands for Magnetic Energy Profile. The colours are codenames, by the best way – “Rock Sweet” often turns into Obsidian, however this time round Obsidian won’t be Obsidian anymore, whereas “Mist” turns into Porcelain, though with the Pixel 10 era it is likely to be Mild Porcelain. If that sentence did not make any sense to you, we’re speaking concerning the names Google likes to offer to its telephones’ colours. Obsidian is black, Porcelain is white.
Curiously, the Pixel 10 collection units are mentioned to sport a ConvenientPower CPS4041 controller chip for wi-fi charging, and this chip can help as much as 60W charging, however Google may restrict that in any approach it desires, so this is not a affirmation of a lot quicker wi-fi charging on the Pixel 10s.
