Google has now officially confirmed that its latest flagship Android smartphones are compatible with Pixelsnap, the Mountain View giant's new answer to Apple's MagSafe. The line has a Ring Stand to go with a Charger that can come with a matching Stand, although only one version of the Pixel 10 can get full Qi2 speeds out of it.

The Pixel 10 series has become official today (August 20, 2025) - as has its new wireless charging ecosystem.

Dubbed Pixelsnap by its maker Google, the new range certainly looks the part with a design that matches the new Pixel Watch, Buds and smartphones.

Oddly, the $29.99 Pixelsnap Ring Stand, a stylish take on the average magnetic phone-holder in a single Sterling colorway, has Google branding while the $39.99 Pixelsnap Charger's sleek puck does not.

The Rock Candy-colored Charger can also be bought with an optional Stand that brings its price up to $69.99. It is Google's first accessory capable of the new Qi2 25W spec - which only works with the Pixel 10 Pro XL.

The Pixelsnap Charger's speed drops to 15W with the Pixel 10, 10 Pro or 10 Pro Fold.

The line also includes official new Pixelsnap Cases for the 10 series (starting at $49.99), joined by some third-party cases from brands such as Otterbox and Mous with the same charging compatibility.

All of the new accessories can be pre-ordered directly from Google (while a select few are similarly available on Amazon), prior to their release on August 28, 2025. It will be interesting to see if Pixelsnap can erase Google wireless charging headaches of the past from then.
