Made by Google 2025 has just wrapped with Google announcing a plethora of new technology. Rather interestingly, in a sea of devices and innovation, one thing stood out the most to me. An Apple innovation finally making its way over to Google’s eco-system.
Pixel 10 First Non-iPhone to Feature MagSafe (Pixel Snap)
iPhone gets a lot of criticism for slow innovation bringin in Android features years after Android phones launch them. But for once, Apple has opened up and said the world can use their MagSafe technology. Noone took them up on the offer, until now.
The new Google Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL wil feature MagSafe technology, which Google is calling Pixel Snap.
This means these devices will be able to use magnetic accessories and charging. Maybe I blow this out of proportion, but MagSafe was perhaps the last bit of innovation in smartphones that wow’d me. I use it when I’m driving to hold and charge my phone and I have MagSafe chargers around the house.
Google has recognised how incredible this technology is and announced that it will feature on the new Pixel range of devices.
For me, this is the big headline announcement from the event.
What Pixel Snap Products are Available?
Google is bringing its all-new Pixel Snap accessory ecosystem to the market, offering a full lineup designed for seamless, MagSafe-style convenience.
Available from launch, you’ll find the Pixel Snap Charger (wireless charging puck) and Pixel Snap Charging Stand (upright desk charger) for easy, fast charging at home or work. For on-the-go power, the Pixel Snap Battery Pack magnetically snaps to your Pixel for instant extra battery, no wires, no fuss.
There’s also the Pixel Snap Wallet, a slim accessory that attaches securely to the back of your Pixel and keeps cards handy. And of course, every device gets official protection with the Pixel Snap Case, which not only shields your phone but unlocks the whole magnetic accessory range for both charging and daily carry.
Perfect for anyone who wants the flexibility and snap-and-go simplicity across their Pixel devices and accessories.
Is Pixel Snap and MagSafe Cross Compatible?
Yes. Google confirmed that Pixel Snap is compatible with popular MagSafe products. The system is designed so you can snap on wireless chargers and a range of MagSafe-compatible accessories for a secure and intuitive experience.
So your existing MagSafe wallets, mounts, and chargers should work with Pixel Snap, alongside Google’s own first-party accessories.
