Pixel 10 Speculations at the Eleventh Hour
The official reveal of the Pixel 10 devices by Google is just a few days away, but there’s still room for one last piece of information, and recent leaks suggest a significant enhancement.
Cabled Charging: Major Improvement or Major Hoax?
Leaks have already informed us that the Pixel 10 models will feature Qi2 wireless charging, but we might also see a substantial increase in wired charging speed.
Retailers like PC Canada inadvertently showcased some upcoming accessories, revealing a new ‘Google 67W Dual Port Power Adapter’ retailing for $79. Should we speculate a 30W enhancement for the Pixel 10?
Unlikely, but it indicates that the Pixel 10 devices (depending on the version) could see increased speeds.
Practical Anticipations
Google’s existing proprietary charger is 45W, already surpassing the 37W rate of the Pixel 9 Pro XL. While the Pixel 10 may not reach 67W, a transition to 45W is feasible, akin to what we see with the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Dual Ports, Dual Benefits
Bear in mind, this charger features two ports, meaning the speed is intended to be distributed between them, enabling two devices to receive a satisfactory charge simultaneously.
Marvels of Wireless and Wired Charging
While Qi2 wireless charging and the anticipated ‘Pixelsnap’ accessories, potentially including a Pixel Stand 3 or similar, dominate the conversation, enhanced wired charging speeds are still a positive development—especially considering that Google and Samsung have fallen behind their rivals in this aspect.
Keep an Eye Out
We’ll receive all the specifics this Wednesday at the substantial Made by Google event. Until then, stay updated with all our Pixel coverage.
Recap
Elevating Charging Anticipations: With Google tantalizing us with bold promises, we are left wondering if the Pixel 10 will transform our charging rates or merely provide us with more “Qi” terminology to flaunt to friends.
