Google Pixelsnap Charger with Stand The Pixelsnap Charger with Stand offers a clean aesthetic and a very solid and hefty build quality. Unfortunately, it has a non-removable 1m USB-C cable and doesn't allow for any stand adjustment or portability. It promises 25W of Qi2.2 wireless charging, but fails to deliver that power consistently over a full charge, often dropping to slower Qi2 15W charging speeds. When Google announced the Pixel 10’s Pixelsnap accessory ecosystem, the one thing that drew

Don’t just buy a Pixelsnap Charger without thinking about your USB ports

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-30 01:57:03

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR Some new Pixel 10 owners are running into trouble with Google’s Pixelsnap Charger due to insufficient power input. When buying a charger, make sure that the device you want to power it with is capable of meeting its listed needs. Google requires 35W of input to use the Pixelsnap Charger at full 25W output. Charging phones is finally exciting again! Well, maybe “exciting” is overselling it — and not so much “again,” we guess — but charging is absolutel

Google’s new Pixelsnap Ring Stand is stumbling out of the gate with early issues

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-03 05:58:10

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Users are reporting that there’s an issue with the Pixelsnap Ring Stand. It appears that the screws that hold the ring to the magnetic panel are becoming loose. One of the more exciting aspects of the Pixel 10’s launch was the announcement of the new Pixelsnap accessories. These MagSafe-like items can magnetically snap onto the Pixel 10 without the need for a special case. Now that the Pixel 10 has been out for a couple of weeks, plenty of owners have

I’d be more excited about the Pixel 10 Pro if it had this iPhone camera feature

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-15 18:00:07

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority The Pixel 10 Pro sits in quite an awkward spot this year. The main differentiator between the standard Pixel and the Pro model has long been the third camera, but that gap closed with the Pixel 10 also rocking a three-cam setup this time. Getting a solid telephoto camera on a $200 cheaper phone already sabotages the 10 Pro’s position as the real ‘Pro’ for most people. Since Google’s phones are known for cameras — they are called Pixels after all — the Pixel 10

Pixel 10 turns into a smart display while charging — even on older Pixel Stands

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR The Pixel 10 series introduces a new screensaver mode that activates while charging on the Pixelsnap Charger Stand. Screensavers include weather, smart home controls, clocks, and wallpapers. We got the feature working with the original Pixel Stand and other Qi wireless chargers after some app updates. The Pixelsnap Charger with Stand is Google’s newest magnetic charging dock for the Pixel 10 lineup, and it comes with more than just faster charging. On

I review phone cases, and these are the Google Pixel 10 cases I’d pick up at launch

The Google Pixel 10 family is finally here, and with it a fancy new totally-not-MagSafe feature called Pixelsnap and a minor design refresh. If you’re planning to upgrade, the bad news is that Pixel 9 cases are not compatible, so you’ll need to pick up a new one. The good news is that there are tons of great cases to choose from, especially if you want to take advantage of Pixelsnap. I’ve been reviewing cases for years here at Android Authority, and although the cases are still on their way for

Google launches its own ‘MagSafe’ with PixelSnap

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-11-06 14:22:41

Google announced its own version of “MagSafe” called PixelSnap, which allows magnetic accessories to work with the newly launched Pixel 10 series of devices. The company’s announcement comes nearly five years after Apple announced its own slew of magnetic accessories with the iPhone 12 in 2020. The company said that through PixelSnap, you can attach wireless chargers, stands, grips, and much more to the Pixel 10. It is also releasing its own PixelSnap cases and compatible accessories.

Pixelsnap is Google's Qi2-powered answer to MagSafe for the Pixel 10 series

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.

Nearly a decade ago, Google announced the first Pixel phone at an event in San Francisco. When Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai took the stage that day, he talked about the mobile-first to AI-first transition. “I believe computers should adapt to how people live their lives, rather than people having to adapt to computers.” That vision is still playing out on the Pixel phone, which is now in its 10th generation. Google is unveiling its Pixel 10 series Android smartphones today. The lineup is comprise

TL;DR Google’s Pixel 10 series debuts built-in Pixelsnap magnets for Qi2 wireless charging and MagSafe-style accessories. All models support Qi2 at 15W, but the Pixel 10 Pro XL is the only device with Qi2.2 for 25W charging.

Animated Cursors

Tattoy now supports animated cursors. It uses the same format as Ghostty, therefore rendering the cursor using custom shaders. Here are some popular Ghostty cursors, that you can use out-of-the-box with Tattoy. Even though Tattoy supports Ghostty cursors its rendering is quite different. Ghostty renders the cursor using actual pixels whereas Tattoy renders using UTF8 text-based "pixels", namely "▀" and "▄". This means that Tattoy cursors sometimes miss out on the subtleties of Ghostty cursors,

Why I am a Pixel guy

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-26 18:00:09

I’ve been an Android guy for 15 years. Fun fact: I have never owned an iPhone. I’ve been on Team Android since day one, and over that decade and a half, I’ve used phones from nearly every major brand you can think of — Samsung, LG, OnePlus, and more. But for the past few years, I’ve been all-in on one brand: Google Pixel. My current daily driver is the Google Pixel 9 Pro, and whenever I need to use another phone for work, I immediately find myself missing it. But what is it about this phone, an

When to make LODs: Understanding model costs

When to make LODs Jason Booth 3 min read · Dec 26, 2021 -- Listen Share Understanding model costs I’m always amazed at how often I hear people talk about “poly counts” in modern rendering, as if that’s even a thing. But lore has a way of sticking around forever, far past its point of being useful. And quite frankly, I’m constantly seeing artwork created in substandard ways because of this lore. First, the cost of rendering something doesn’t really have much relation to how many polygons it ha
