Google just revealed something called Pixelsnap at today's Made by Google
event. This is the company's answer to Apple's MagSafe technology, so it's a
magnetic attachment system that can integrate with Qi2 wireless chargers.

All of the new Pixel 10 phones have been outfitted with the tech, which lets
users "effortlessly snap wireless chargers, stands, grips and thousands of
other accessories," including the just-announced official Pixelsnap charger.
That Qi2 wireless charger reaches speeds up to 25W and there's a version with
a stand to dock a phone while charging.

Google also announced the Pixelsnap Ring Stand, which is for hands-free
viewing, and a range of Pixelsnap phone cases. There are plenty of
accessories coming from third-party companies, including car mounts, wallets,
grips and more. The tech should also integrate with most pre-existing
magnetic accessories.

The Pixelsnap wireless charger costs $40, while the one with a stand costs
$70. The Pixelsnap Ring Stand starts at $30 and dedicated smartphone cases
start at $50. The phones will still be able to attach magnetically and
wirelessly charge with one of these cases.
