At the Made by Google 2025 event where the Google Pixel 10 series was fully unveiled, the company also announced a new lineup of accessories under the Pixelsnap brand name. This is Google's answer to Apple's MagSafe lineup of iPhone accessories, and they work the same way. Google's lineup uses magnets to attach to Pixel 10 smartphones (and other compatible phones), and it supports the Qi 2 wireless charging standard. You can pre-order these accessories today or find them in stores starting August 28.

The Pixelsnap Charger can be purchased with or without a stand. Interestingly, the Pixelsnap Charger can charge the Pixel 10 Pro XL at 25W, but all other devices at 15W. This means that if you buy the Pixel 10, 10 Pro, or 10 Pro Fold, you're going to get the same charging speed as that on any other phone that supports Qi2 wireless charging. The charging puck can be detached from the stand, which is a handy feature for travel, because carrying the stand everywhere with you isn't always practical.

The Pixelsnap Charger can be yours for $40, and if you want it with the stand, the price is $70.

The Pixelsnap lineup also includes cases. All of Google's Pixel 10 cases are Pixelsnap compatible, which means that you don't have to remove the case when you're using the wireless charger. There are quite a few color options here, but not all color variants are available for the Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold phones. The price of a case starts at $50 and goes all the way up to $70.

Google's also launched a stand, sans charger, to help you prop up your smartphone. You can also use this accessory to turn your Pixel into a desk clock when you're not using the device. The Pixelsnap Ring Stand costs $30.

The Pixel Flex charger is not a Pixelsnap accessory, per se, but you're going to need it if you want a wall adapter to charge your devices. It's a dual-port fast charger, with two USB-C ports and support for up to 67W fast charging. Google says it features a proprietary algorithm that "identifies and prioritizes charging Pixel phones, while still powering a second device simultaneously." This product is priced at $60.

And there's more

The Pixelsnap lineup doesn't end with Google's own products. You'll also find Pixelsnap-compatible accessories by third-party manufacturers, which includes phone cases, wallets, and other products. Some of these are available right now, so feel free to check them out. If the Pixel 10 succeeds, there's a chance that more accessories with Pixelsnap support will show up, but for now, there are enough options to get you going.
