科技公司普遍追求设备轻薄化，但即将发布的谷歌Pixel 10系列手机可能打破这一趋势。最新传闻显示，Pixel 10、Pixel 10 Pro、Pixel 10 Pro XL及Pixel 10 Pro Fold在重量和厚度上可能略有增加，主要原因在于引入内置磁铁以支持新的Qi2无线充电标准。这一设计借鉴了苹果MagSafe技术，旨在提升无线充电效率并实现更快的25W充电速度。虽然谷歌也可能通过配件实现此功能，但若Pixel 10系列真采纳内置磁吸设计，预计将引领安卓阵营跟进，尽管这与当前超薄手机的趋势有所不同，但其背后的技术考量值得关注。新机将于8月20日的Made by Google活动上正式发布。

📱 **Pixel 10系列手机或将增重增厚**：与业界普遍追求轻薄化的趋势不同，即将发布的谷歌Pixel 10系列手机，包括Pixel 10、Pixel 10 Pro、Pixel 10 Pro XL和Pixel 10 Pro Fold，预计在重量和厚度上相较前代会有小幅提升，具体增幅约为1毫米的厚度和1至11克的重量。

🧲 **内置磁铁以支持Qi2无线充电**：传闻中增加设备重量和厚度的主要原因是内置磁铁，以支持新一代Qi2无线充电标准。该标准通过磁性对齐来优化无线充电效率，减少能量损耗，类似于苹果的MagSafe技术，旨在实现更快速、更稳定的无线充电体验。

⚡ **25W无线充电与行业趋势**：Qi2标准将支持高达25W的无线充电功率，这意味着用户可以更快地为手机充电。尽管Pixel 10系列可能逆势增厚，但如果其目的是为了提供更优化的无线充电体验，并且能带来更快的充电速度，那么这可能是合理的权衡。这与当前如三星Z Fold 7等手机追求极致轻薄的趋势形成对比。

🔮 **配件替代方案的可能性**：除了内置磁铁，谷歌也可能通过推出名为“Pixelsnap”的充电配件系列来提供类似MagSafe的功能，从而让现有手机也能享受磁吸无线充电的便利。然而，如果新机直接集成磁铁，则更能体现谷歌对无线充电技术的重视和对用户体验的提升。

🗓️ **发布日期临近**：关于Pixel 10系列手机的新功能和设计细节的传闻不断涌现，其最终形态将在8月20日举行的“Made by Google”活动上正式揭晓，届时将有更多关于这些设备的信息得以确认。

Tech companies tend to make their devices lighter and thinner with each new generation, but the upcoming Pixel 10 smartphones from Google seem ready to buck that trend.

Details on the next-gen Pixel phones have been leaking like a faucet (catch up on the latest Pixel 10 rumors) ahead of their August launch, and now Android Headlines is reporting that the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold will likely be slightly heavier than their predecessors. And except for the Pro XL model, all these devices could also be thicker. The differences in thickness and weight are expected to be small — about 1 mm and 1 to 11 grams, respectively.

Rumor has it there's a simple reason why Google is adding weight for the new Pixel smartphones — magnets.

As Mashable has reported, the Wireless Power Consortium released new standards for Qi2.2 wireless charging. To make these next-gen wireless chargers more efficient, Qi2 devices utilize magnetic alignment to reduce power loss. For iPhone users, Apple MagSafe technology provides a ready solution. Since the iPhone 12, new Apple smartphones have already featured a ring of magnets around the wireless charger. Now, the Android world seems poised to follow Apple's lead. Frankly, we're surprised it hasn't happened sooner.

Hence, the rumors that the new Pixel 10 smartphones will come with built-in magnets to support wireless charging.

If this rumor bears out, then we expect other smartphone manufacturers to follow suit. The first Qi2 wireless chargers were announced earlier this month, with companies like Belkin and Ugreen set to release faster and more efficient charging products in the months ahead. The Qi2 standard also allows for 25W wireless charging, which will let users juice up their phones more quickly.

Of course, we're speculating, and Google could instead release cases with magnets. 9To5Google has reported on a rumored Pixelsnap series of charging accessories that would mimic Apple's MagSafe products.

Notably, mobile nerds like us have already declared 2025 the year of the ultra-thin phone, and Samsung's new Z Fold 7 is significantly thinner than the Z Fold 6. So, if Google is moving in the opposite direction, we expect they have a good reason why. We don't have to wait long to find out, as the new Pixel 10 phones will be officially unveiled at the Made by Google event on Aug. 20.

And, hey, who doesn't love magnets?
