As with any other anticipated smartphone lineup, the Google Pixel 10 series has been the subject of a myriad of rumours and leaks ahead of its launch. One such leak suggested the presence of Qi2 magnets on the phones, although a later report contradicted this claim. Now, a new image seems to indicate that the devices might come with built-in magnets after all.
Leakster Evan Blass took to X to share a series of renders featuring the Pixel 10 series. One of these renders depicts the base model with a charger attached to its back. The phone is not in a case, as its camera bump and antenna lines are clearly visible in the image. This strongly suggests that the Pixel 10 and its siblings will feature magnets to help align wireless chargers.
As for the charger itself, it appears as a plain white puck without any branding. It bears a strong resemblance to the charger for the Pixel Watch 3, albeit bigger. This is probably the “Pixelsnap Charger” named in the initial leak.
Blass also shared some details on the Pixel 10 series along with the renders. Apparently, Google will be advertising a battery life of up to 100 hours on the vanilla variant and Pro versions with Extreme Battery Saver active. Meanwhile, the foldable will last 72 hours with the feature enabled.
Aside from that, the base Pixel 10 reportedly comes with an “advanced triple rear camera system” with a 48 MP main sensor with macro focus, as well as a 13MP ultra-wide lens. The leak also claims that the phone features “super res zoom” up to 20x.
The Pro models on the other hand apparently sport a “Pro triple rear camera system” which includes a 50MP main shooter, a 48MP ultra-wide sensor with macro focus, and up to 100x “pro res zoom”. Finally the Pixel 10 Pro Fold gets an “advanced triple rear camera system”. The leak does not mention any specifics, though.
In addition to the phones, Blass also shared renders of the Pixel Watch 4, as well as what looks like the Pixel Buds Pro 2 in a new colour. Google will likely reveal these products alongside the phones at its Made by Google event on 20 August.
