The Google Pixel 10 series is already trending across tech circles—and it hasn’t even launched yet. Leaks and insider reports are pouring in, teasing powerful upgrades, AI enhancements, and a new accessories ecosystem.
While Qi2 wireless charging is officially on board, Google might skip built-in magnets, causing a stir among fans. Let’s break down what to expect from Google’s next flagship.
Design
Google’s keeping it clean and minimal this time too. The Pixel 10 series will likely carry forward the familiar design language seen in the Pixel 9—flat back, curved corners, and the horizontal camera bar. It’s instantly recognizable and continues Google’s unique identity.
But here comes the twist. Early rumors suggested that the Pixel 10 would feature in-built magnets to support magnetic Qi2 wireless chargers, similar to Apple’s MagSafe.
However, the latest leaks suggest that Google has decided against embedding magnets directly into the phone.
Instead, users will have to rely on a special Pixelsnap case that contains the magnets. So if you’re looking to snap on a magnetic charger or stand, you’ll need to use the case—just like you would with MagSafe-compatible cases for older iPhones.
Qi2 Charging
One of the biggest confirmed upgrades is Qi2.2 wireless charging support, including the Magnetic Power Profile (MPP) standard. This will allow for better alignment, faster speeds, and more reliable charging—but again, only when used with the right Pixelsnap case.
Google is also expected to introduce a lineup of Pixelsnap accessories, including:
- Pixelsnap Magnetic Charger
- Charger with Pixelsnap Stand
- Pixelsnap Ring Stand
These will work seamlessly with the Pixel 10 series using the specialized magnetic case. It’s a modular approach, giving users flexibility without forcing the tech inside the phone itself.
Variants
Leaks hint at an expanded Pixel 10 family. Expect to see at least four variants:
- Pixel 10
- Pixel 10 Pro
- Pixel 10 Pro XL
- Pixel 10 Pro Fold
All models are rumored to feature the new Tensor G5 chipset, built to boost AI processing and power efficiency. That means not just better performance, but smarter software and improved battery life too.
Software
The Pixel 10 series will launch with Android 15, loaded with exclusive Pixel features. Think next-gen voice typing, smart image editing, AI-powered translations, and even more seamless Google Assistant integrations.
The Tensor G5 is expected to enhance all of these functions with faster, on-device AI responses.
Pixel has always led with intelligent features, and this year, the focus on AI looks stronger than ever.
Charger
Google will also launch a new Dual USB Type-C charger, another first for the brand. The charger will support:
- 45W fast charging on the main port
- A secondary slow-charge port for accessories like the Pixel Watch or Pixel Buds
That’s a welcome move for users who hate carrying multiple adapters.
Launch Date
Google is expected to unveil the Pixel 10 series at the “Made by Google” event on August 20, 2025. Pre-orders should go live the same day, and open sales are rumored to start from August 28, 2025.
Final Thoughts
The Pixel 10 series looks ready to offer a refined Android experience with all the modern perks—faster wireless charging, smarter AI, a powerful new chipset, and even an ecosystem of accessories.
While the missing built-in magnets may disappoint some, the modular approach via Pixelsnap cases makes sense and keeps the phone clean in design.
If you’re someone who loves pure Android with clever features, excellent cameras, and deep Google integration, the Pixel 10 is shaping up to be a worthy upgrade.
