Google held a celeb-studded Made By Google event on Wednesday and there was lots of news. But one new line of products could change how you charge your Pixel phone forever.
Alongside the Pixel 10 smartphones and Pixel Watch 4, Google dropped its new Pixelsnap products, which incorporate magnets to hold and prop up your phone. The line represents Google’s answer to Apple’s popular MagSafe charging. That means you can just slap your phone on a charger and feel confident it’ll stay upright and charging. Speaking from MagSafe experience, it can prove to be a game-changer, especially for watching videos or making video calls without a stand.

Google isn’t just copying MagSafe, however. The new Pixel 10 smartphones incorporate magnets into their design to make them compatible with the new Qi2 wireless charging standard, which uses magnets to properly align phones and wireless chargers.

A world of possibilities just opened for Pixel users everywhere. Keep an eye out for all the new magnet-based accessories coming your way.
