Google's Pixel 10 may get magnetic Qi2 charging after all

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-23 08:30:55

Google's upcoming Pixel 10 may support wireless Qi2 charging natively (without a case), which would make it the first Pixel model and one of the few Android phones to do so. A new image from mega-leaker Evan Blass shows a Qi2 charger attached to the back of a naked Pixel 10 device, meaning it likely has the magnets required to support the fast-charging system. Rumors bubbled up last month that Google was working on a new lineup of "Pixelsnap" Qi2 accessories, leading to speculation that the Pix

‘Urban Legend’ Has ’90s Nostalgia and Folklore Frights Worth Revisiting

Scream arrived in 1996, revitalizing slasher movies and ushering in a rush of imitators—much like Halloween and Friday the 13th did during the genre’s first wave in the late 1970s and early ‘80s. Now we’re in a third wave, with Scream’s successful return and the recent releases of brand-new movies in the late ‘90s-early 2000s I Know What You Did Last Summer and Final Destination series.

This long-requested Galaxy upgrade might finally arrive on the S26 Ultra

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A new firmware leak suggests the Galaxy S26 Ultra will support 60W wired charging. That’s a major jump from the 45W limit on previous Ultra models, though still slower than some rivals. The phone is expected to keep its 5,000mAh battery and use the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset. Samsung might not be boosting battery capacity on its next high-end flagship, but it looks like faster charging is finally on the cards for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Tipter Erenca

While Marvel basks in the success of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, director Jake Schreier—the guiding hand behind Marvel’s earlier 2025 hit, Thunderbolts—is looking ahead to the studio’s most anticipated movie that doesn’t have the word “Avengers” in the title. Schreier is helming the movie designed to bring the X-Men fully into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, on the heels of Deadpool & Wolverine.
