A newly surfaced image shows a MagSafe-style magnetic charger attached to a Pixel 10. A series of what appear to be official renders of devices Google will showcase at its August 20 hardware event published today on X by reliable leaker Evan Blass contains an image of a blue Pixel 10 with a white magnetic charger attached, seemingly confirming that Google’s upcoming smartphones will support magnetic charging.

Earlier leaks around this have been a little murky. In June, we heard that Google was working on a line of Qi2.2 accessories, branded as Pixelsnap. Reliable leaker Kamila Wojciechowska said that they had obtained confirmation that the Pixel 10 series would support the Qi2.2 standard, which definitionally includes built-in magnets for attaching accessories.

The next day, though, a different rumor indicated that Google’s first-party Pixel 10 cases have magnets built in, a detail that had us worried Pixelsnap accessories may actually rely on magnetic cases rather than built-in magnets in the phones themselves. But given Blass’s track record, today’s leak is the best indication we’ve seen yet that the Pixel 10 series will support magnetic accessories out of the box.

The two prior leaks that separately indicated both the Pixel 10 and its first-party cases would have built-in magnets aren’t necessarily contradictory. Apple sells cases for its MagSafe-equipped iPhones that themselves have embedded magnetic rings. Still, it’s good to see what’s almost certainly an image created by Google showing a magnetic charger snapped onto the back of a Pixel 10, sans case.

Another look at the Pixel 10 specs, too

Blass’s tweets today also include images of purported specs for the Pixel 10 series. It all lines up with what we’ve seen so far, but details include 20x digital zoom on Pixel 10 and 100x digital zoom on Pixel 10 Pro. Pre-release leaks have indicated that the base Pixel 10 will be the first non-Pro Pixel phone to include a dedicated telephoto camera.

It looks like Google will advertise battery life of up to 100 hours on the Pixel 10 and 10 Pro with Extreme Battery Saver active. For the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Google claims 72 hours under the same circumstances.

We’re just weeks away from official confirmation of all of this: Google’s next hardware event is scheduled for August 20.
