The Pixel 10 Pro series features brighter displays, bigger batteries and Qi2 wireless charging
The 6.3-inch Pixel 10 Pro and the 6.8-inch Pixel 10 Pro XL will both feature a Super Actua display with variable refresh rate up to 120 Hz. The displays offer up to 3,300 nits of peak brightness or 2,200 nits peak in HDR, about ten percent brighter than on the Pixel 9 Pro series.
Every phone in the Pixel 10 lineup. announced today, has Qi2 magnetic wireless charging at up to 15W. The Pro XL has Qi2.2 and can charge at up to 25W, which is great and all, but wireless charging isn’t the cool part. The magnets are the cool part.
Google announced its own version of “MagSafe” called PixelSnap, which allows magnetic accessories to work with the newly launched Pixel 10 series of devices. The company’s announcement comes nearly five years after Apple announced its own slew of magnetic accessories with the iPhone 12 in 2020.
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold also includes Qi2 wireless charging, and it's the first foldable to offer this feature. That'll pair nicely with Google's just-announced PixelSnap platform, which is the company's answer to Apple's MagSafe.
The Pixel 10 series technically supports the fastest Qi2 charging speeds available, but only on the largest model.
You'll soon be able to charge your iPhone at 25W with a third-party magnetic charger, but the iPhone 17 could up the ante again.
Bring 15W of rapid Qi2-certified MagSafe power to your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods with this compact desktop or nightstand station for just $63.
The Pixel 10's rumored Qi2 inclusion unfortunately stands in stark contrast to two of Google's Android partners.
