Pixel 10 magnets confirmed in cases

Official Pixel 10 first party cases surface ahead of launch showing built in magnets and Qi2 compatibility

Pixel 10 magnets reshape official cases

Nieuwemobiel has published images of Google's official Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro XL cases in Indigo Obsidian Limoncello and Frost. The photos clearly show a magnet ring inside the case and hints of magnets built into the chassis. The leak also reinforces the claim that the Pixel 10 will support Qi2, extending magnetic accessory support beyond the phone itself.

The leak suggests Google is moving toward a more integrated accessory ecosystem. The approach mirrors MagSafe style seen on other brands and could signal a shift toward standard magnetic connections for Android devices. With a launch event on the horizon, the official confirmation may set the tone for accessory pricing and availability.

Google appears to use magnets to guide the user journey, not just add a feature. If magnet connections prove reliable, buyers may see faster setup and more durable attachments.

The shift could influence rivals and partners alike, pushing a broader Android magnet ecosystem while raising questions about price and access for smaller makers.

Highlights

The next steps will reveal if the magnet plan makes everyday use simpler or adds new costs for users.
