Google has introduced PixelSnap. PixelSnap is a new magnetic accessory system for the Pixel 10 family. The system lets users attach chargers, stands, grips, and third-party mounts with simple magnetic alignment. PixelSnap aims to bring a secure and easy accessory experience to Pixel phones.
Pixel 10 models support the Qi2 wireless standard. The Pixel 10 Pro XL supports 25 watts of wireless charging. The Pixel 10, the Pixel 10 Pro, and the Pixel 10 Fold support 15 watts of wireless charging. Google will ship a PixelSnap wireless puck and an optional stand that works when the phone lies flat or when it stands on display.
Google is launching PixelSnap cases, a ring stand, and dedicated chargers. The ring stand attaches like a small puck and folds into a loop for use as a stand or a grip. The case price begins at $49.99. The ring stand is priced at $29.99. Google lists multiple chargers, including a compact puck and a charging stand.
PixelSnap accessories will work with Made for Google partners and some MagSafe accessories. Car mounts and third-party chargers that follow the standard will be compatible. Google said that PixelSnap expands accessory choice while keeping the phone design slim and clean. The company positions PixelSnap as an ecosystem that supports different accessory types from multiple makers.
PixelSnap is a practical step for users who want simple magnetic attachment and for those who use wireless charging every day. The system adds convenience for people who use their phone while it charges or who want to show widgets and controls on a desk stand. The accessory range gives users options for both at home and in cars.
The Pixel 10 phones have the new Tensor G5 chip, and they further have the latest release of Android. Prolonged software updates and security are stated as a focus of Google. During the PixelSnap launch, Google’s partner products and accessories are official. Availability of launch dates and regional prices varies, as do the prices. This addition brings Pixel accessories even nearer to a complete ecosystem that most customers want a leading phone maker to offer today.
