Qi2

Qi2 battery banks are perhaps one of the best accessories for a Pixel 10 owner, but finding one that’s compact while actually having a decent amount of power inside is not easy. But with the new PicoGo AM52 power bank, Baseus has built a 10,000 mAh Qi2 battery bank that just feels right.

The Clicks Keyboard case that revived the experience of using a physical keyboard for modern smartphones is now coming to, well, everything, with the new magnetic “Click Power” launching in 2026 with support for any device you want to use it with.

There are literally countless Qi2 charging docks available for the Pixel 10 series, each one with a different type of use case. One that I’ve been testing out lately is from UGreen, with the company’s Qi2 25W 3-in-1 “Magflow” dock being a perfect portable Qi2 dock for Pixel 10.

Google’s official Pixelsnap Charger with Qi2 25W support is suddenly on sale, but you can do better.

IKEA has launched a trio of new Qi2 wireless chargers that are available in the US and other regions, ready for Pixel 10, and start at just $10.

I think it’s safe to say that Qi2 has been the most meaningful part of upgrading to the Pixel 10, at least for me. I’m finding magnetic accessories invaluable in day-to-day life, and I’m not alone. One of my favorite ways to use Qi2 on the Pixel 10 is with car chargers as it’s probably the most convenient place to use the tech, yet also one of the most frustrating.

While a camera upgrade will be missing, Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 series is seemingly getting a big upgrade in the form of Qi2 support, and a new leak details the company’s plans for magnetic accessories, but no clever name to go with it.

It continues to be clear that Samsung is fully introducing Qi2 on the Galaxy S26 series, with a new “Magnet Wireless Battery Pack” surfacing on a certification page.

According to a new report, Samsung is working on its own first-party Qi2 25W wireless charging dock for the Galaxy S26 series, which is expected to finally natively adopt Qi2 magnets.

I’ve found plenty to love about my Pixel 10 over the past few months, but so far, nothing has topped the inclusion of PixelSnap. Google’s branded Qi2 implementation — the first of its kind we’ve seen on Android — brings all sorts of magnetic accessories to this year’s lineup, and in my experience, it feels like the closest we’ve come to a modern, market-friendly version of modular design. I’ve spent the last few weeks testing out a handful of magnetic accessories (some Qi2-specific, some not-so-much), and honestly, I can’t imagine going back.

On the backs of the Pixel 10 Pro XL and latest iPhones, Qi2 25W has been heralded as the “next big thing” in wireless charging. Yet, it really doesn’t feel worth the effort of seeking it out for two key reasons.

Welcome to The Sideload episode 14, a 9to5Google podcast. This week, Will welcomes Ara Wagoner, his former co-host on The Android Police Podcast, to the show to talk all things accessories.

Qi2 has been absolutely my favorite upgrade for the Pixel 10 generation, and that’s largely because it opens up a new world of accessories. One of the best I’ve tried is a neat 5-in-1 charging dock from Baseus that lets you power up your Pixel 10 easily, while also having power for anything else right on hand.

Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series is set for its biggest wireless charging upgrade in years, and it’s also more clear than ever that the company is adopting proper Qi2 magnets.

Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 series was expected to be quite thin compared to past generations, but new rumors are clarifying that this probably won’t be the case, while also revealing the “Plus” model that just rose from the grave.

Nomad is updating its signature “Stand One” lineup with Qi2 support, which means Pixel 10 and iPhone 17 owners have a new Qi2 25W option that includes a second charger for their Pixel Buds or AirPods.

The near-complete absence of Qi2 magnets in Android phones ended with the launch of the Pixel 10 series, but why did it take so long? In a recent video, Nothing suggested it was partially due to cost, as the company estimated it would cost a company about $10 million to implement Qi2. If that sounds ridiculous… it kind of is, as the WPC has confirmed this is not the case.

The Pixel 10’s Qi2 support opens a new world of accessories, but first in line should be Belkin’s clever little 3-in-1 stand that not only serves as an excellent travel charger, but also just a perfect starting point.

The arrival of native Qi2 support in the Pixel 10 series has let me dive headfirst into a new world of accessories, and Qi2 battery banks have very quickly become my favorite accessory to have on hand.

Samsung has been stubborn when it comes to the updated wireless charging standard that is Qi2, with the new standard adding MagSafe-style magnetic charging outside of the iPhone ecosystem. Google became the first major brand to embrace Qi2 with the Pixel 10 series, and while Samsung is rumored to finally be getting on board next year, the company has just release two new Qi2 wireless chargers that just remind Galaxy owners what they’re missing out on.

With the addition of Qi2 on the Pixel 10 series, the most important upgrade is a unified standard for case and accessory manufacturers to follow. That means we’re now seeing a large number of chargers, batteries, and other magnetic tools that agree on placement. Below is a breakdown of some of our favorite devices for the Pixel 10 series.
