The Pixel 10 Pro Fold could have Qi2 support, but don't celebrate yet

We’ve seen a few Google Pixel 10 series leaks suggesting that the phones offer magnets for Qi2 wireless charging. What about the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, though? It sounds like we now have a (murky) answer.

Veteran leaker Evan Blass has claimed on Twitter that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is indeed “Qi2-compliant.” You can view the tweet below.

This doesn’t necessarily confirm that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold has integrated magnets, though. The Qi2 charging standard consists of the Baseline Power Profile (BPP) and Magnetic Power Profile (MPP). Phones with Qi 2 MPP support actually have built-in magnets, while devices with Qi 2 BPP lack this feature.

In other words, it’s entirely possible that the Pixel 10 Pro Fold supports the Qi2 BPP standard and therefore requires an external case if you’d like to use magnetic accessories. Nevertheless, we hope the phone actually supports Qi2 MPP so we can use these accessories without buying a case.

The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is tipped to arrive with a Tensor G5 chipset and an IP68 rating for the first time in a foldable phone. Unfortunately, Blass has corroborated a previous report that the foldable will only arrive in October.
