- Pixel 10 Wireless Charging Problems Reported
- The problems appear to be associated with older chargers
- So far, Google has had nothing to say about the matter
A new phone launch often comes with some early problems that are attached – like random reboot on the iPhone 16 – and we see reports on some Google Pixel 10 owners who have wireless charging problems on their devices.
Several of the complaints have been collected by the team at 9to5Google, and they include questions such as slow charging and charging that start and then stop after a few minutes, or a few seconds have passed.
You can read yourself through a few of the reports on this Reddit wire, which is specifically focused on pixel stand 2 launched next to Pixel 6. It’s hard to say how widespread these problems are, but there are plenty of frustrated users.
The 9to5Google team has been able to repeat some, but not all the problems reported online and we did not see any problems with wireless charging during the test we did for our Google Pixel 10 review.
New standards, new problems
It seems that these errors can affect all the different Pixel 10 models, including Google Pixel 10 Pro and Google Pixel 10 Pro XL. If there is a connection between the reports, it may be that they all involve older wireless charging devices.
The Pixel 10 series brings a wireless upgrade with support to Qi2 and a new magnetic power profile (MPP) -which means an Android experience similar to Magsafe, with magnets used to adjust phones and chargers.
It is possible that older charging devices are not working properly with the new standards and therefore users do not see smooth wireless charging performance – even if this is not something that Google has mentioned.
There has not yet been any answer from Google on the complaints, but we will keep you updated if that happens. It is possible that a software fix may solve some of these problems with older wireless charging hardware.
