Wireless chargers for Google

Wireless charging is available starting with the Google Pixel 3. Check here the full list of Google devices that support wireless charging. You will have to choose a charger that is compatible with your Google Pixel, preferably a Qi-certified charger. Qi is a registered trademark of Wireless Power Consortium Inc. If you want to use a magnetic charger, then you will need to purchase a phone cover with a magnetic ring, because this function is not available for older Google Pixel phones. However, the phone still charges even without the magnetic ring.

To enable wireless charging on your Google device, you will need a wireless charger. Simply place your Android device on the charger, and it will start charging wirelessly.

According to Google, MagSafe wireless chargers aren't compatible nor certified to work with Pixel devices without a magnetic phone case as they don’t support MagSafe. You have to purchase a magnetic phone case for the MagSafe to activate. However, Google Pixel 10 series (and newer) have a built-in MagSafe function (Magnetic function).

Wireless chargers are worth buying for their convenience and reduced cable clutter, though they can be a little bit slower and more expensive than wired chargers and may generate more heat. They eliminate the need for constant cable fumbling, reduce wear on charging ports, guarantee a longer phone life and can charge multiple devices at once.

Yes, the Pixel 10 series supports Qi2 wireless charging, as it's the first Android line to feature built-in magnets and the magnetic alignment system of Qi2, allowing for magnetic accessories. The rest of the Pixel series only supports standard Qi. Check here the full list of Google devices that support wireless charging.
