As we near the launch of Pixel 10, I’m getting some déjà vu with Google’s new devices, as the company...

It’s about the Pixel 10’s native adoption of the Qi2 wireless charging standard (finally!)

    the company has been pushing forward with its flagship phones for the betterment of the entire Android ecosystem, rather than just its own benefit

    Pretty sure making it harder to install a custom ROM (potentially without GApps) on Pixel phones is mostly driven by its own benefit.

      Aren’t pixels still one of the most supported devices for custom ROMs?

        yes but it Pixel 10 is getting nerfed compared to prior versions. it is the begging of the end of pixel/custom rom run.

        hopefully in the mean time, a solution is cooked up

    It’s a little far-fetched to claim that including full support for Qi 2 on the Pixel 10 is akin to new features heralded by Nexus devices.

    ngl. I do appreciate the magsafe case I got for my P8P. Being able to stick my phone on a holder is handy.
