Google is rolling out an update to Pixel Weather on older phones that finally brings homescreen widgets into the app.

Google’s Pixel 10 series finally brings proper support for Qi2 with magnets, but with the caveat that the latest version and its 25W charging is only available on the Pixel 10 Pro XL. Now, we’re seeing which Qi2 version the rest of the Pixel 10 lineup supports, and it’s unexpected.

One of the biggest stories around the Pixel 10 series is the arrival of “Pixelsnap,” Google’s branding for the introduction of Qi2 and magnets built into the phone, and it’s brought a host of new magnetic accessories to the Google Store including a 2-in-1 dock.

The Pixel 10 series might’ve been unveiled two days ago, but we’re still learning about some of Google’s latest features. Today’s announcement comes hand-in-hand with WhatsApp, as the two companies are bringing voice and video calls over satellite as an initial exclusive.

If you’ve got a meaty library of videos in your personal Drive, Google just made it easier than ever to jump right into the company’s edit tools in Google Vids.

After skipping out on the Galaxy Tab S10 series, Samsung’s ready to bring an 11-inch flagship tablet back to market, and unsurprisingly, the big change comes from following its bigger siblings in a move to MediaTek.

One of the long-awaited changes with the Pixel Watch 4 is that, finally, the smartwatch can actually be repaired. In an interview, Google details how that was made possible, and is also teasing that more third-party chargers are in the pipeline.

The new Qi2 standard is starting to pop up everywhere, and with it comes the expectation of faster wireless charging. If you choose the wrong Qi2 case for the Pixel 10, the reality might be something short of what was promised, all becuase of case construction. Here’s what to look for.

The Pixel 10 series is officially here, and while they might appear pretty similar to last year’s models, looks can be deceiving. From a more powerful, more efficient Tensor G5 chipset to a 5x telephoto on the base model — not to mention Pixelsnap and all of the AI skills you can handle — this is a much larger launch than first impressions might imply. If you’re looking to pre-order one of Google’s new smartphones, there are plenty of places to score a deal, either through retailers or through your carrier.

The new Pixel 10 series brings something we’ve been dying to see on big-name Android devices – Qi2 compatibility. That means there’s a high chance your MagSafe accessories will work with Google’s new Pixel 10 phones, even if they’re not technically Qi2-compatible.

Belkin is today launching a new 2-in-1 “UltraCharge” wireless charger that features support for Qi2’s new 25W charging speeds and couldn’t be more perfect for the Pixel 10 series and your other Google accessories.
