• The Pixel 10 series does not have reverse wireless charging.


• Google removed the Battery Share feature to make room for Qi2 magnets.


• The feature could return in the future as the company explores “future innovations.”

It was exciting when the first rumors started rolling in about the Pixel 10 series adopting Qi2. This meant the Pixel 10 would become the second Android phone to support the standard. Now that Google’s latest flagship has launched, this wireless charging functionality has been officially confirmed, along with a collection of compatible accessories. But it turns out Qi2 support is a bit of a double-edged sword, as its inclusion directly resulted in the removal of a different feature.

Since the Pixel 5, Google’s handsets have had a reverse wireless charging feature called Battery Share. This functionality allowed you to wirelessly charge other devices by placing them on the back of your Pixel phone. While Battery Share made it onto the Pixel 9 series, Google did not include this feature on the Pixel 10 series.
