Recently, there has been some disappointing news regarding Google's upcoming Pixel 10 magnetic accessories. Despite initial excitement surrounding the Pixelsnap brand and the potential integration of magnets into the phones themselves, it appears that Google will instead require magnetic cases for use with these accessories, similar to other Android device makers.
Google Pixel 10 Pro leaked rendersReports suggest that the Pixelsnap chargers and stands will only be compatible with the Pixel 10 if used with a magnetic case. Google will offer its own magnetic cases, or users can opt for third-party alternatives. The charger is said to resemble Apple's MagSafe charger, while the stand will mimic the design of the current Pixel Stand 2, featuring a slot for the Qi2 charger.
These accessories, along with the magnet-infused cases, are expected to be showcased at Google's Pixel 10 launch event on August 20.
