Google Pixel 10 series to feature Qi2 magnets, thicker and heavier design.

Google's Pixel 10 series is thicker and heavier, with increased battery capacity, adding credibility to the idea that these devices will have Qi2 magnets inside, similar to recent teases. The lineup's weight and thickness changes are attributed to larger batteries, and the devices are expected to have Qi2 wireless charging support and "Pixelsnap" accessories, including a charger, ring stand, and charger with stand. The official cases for the Pixel 10 series are also expected to have built-in magnets.

Google's upcoming Pixel 10 series, set to launch on August 21, is expected to be thicker and heavier than its predecessors, with increased battery capacity. This trend aligns with recent teases suggesting that these devices will feature Qi2 magnets for wireless charging, similar to recent innovations in the industry [1].

The Google Pixel 10 series is anticipated to include four models: Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold. The dimensions and weights of these devices have been slightly altered, with the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro measuring 152.8 x 72 x 8.6mm and 155.2 x 150.4 x 5.2mm, respectively [2]. The Pixel 10 Pro XL retains the same measurements as the Pixel 9 Pro XL but is 5% heavier. The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is also expected to be slightly thicker and heavier, with dimensions of 155.2 x 150.4 x 5.2mm when unfolded and 155.2 x 76.3 x 10.8mm when folded [2].

The weight and thickness changes are primarily attributed to larger batteries, which could enhance the devices' performance and longevity. This increase in battery capacity is likely to accommodate the new Qi2 wireless charging technology, which promises faster and more efficient charging [1].

In addition to the expected Qi2 wireless charging support, the Pixel 10 series is rumored to include "Pixelsnap" accessories, such as a charger, ring stand, and a charger with a stand. The official cases for the Pixel 10 series are also expected to have built-in magnets, further facilitating wireless charging and accessory integration [1].

The Pixel 10 series is powered by the Tensor G5 chip, built on TSMC’s 3nm process, which is expected to bring significant gains in both performance and energy efficiency. While the Pixel 9 series featured advanced imaging capabilities, the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro Fold are expected to use similar sensors as the Pixel 9a, with the Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL retaining their predecessors' camera hardware [3].

Google's latest Pixel Drop update introduces several new features, including AI video creation via the Gemini app, a Pixel VIPs widget for key contacts, LE Audio support for hearing aids, and creative tools via Pixel Studio. These features aim to enhance both creativity and accessibility across supported Pixel devices [4].

The Pixel 10 series is expected to be available in India on August 21, with exclusive offers for Google Store subscribers, including promotional codes, exchange bonuses, and no-interest EMI plans. The Pixel 10 Pro is expected to be available in a new "Moonstone" color variant [3].

In conclusion, the Google Pixel 10 series is anticipated to bring significant improvements in battery capacity, wireless charging capabilities, and overall device performance. The increased thickness and weight are primarily attributed to larger batteries, which are expected to enhance the devices' longevity and efficiency.
