There have been complaints from Pixel fans that the Google Pixel 11 series is lacking in updates. That may be a problem with the cameras or the battery capacity, but I, for one, am glad to see continuity in one particular area: Google’s focus on its magnetic Pixelsnap accessories.
Pixelsnap debuted on the Pixel 10 family last year, and marked Google as the first major phone brand besides Apple to tap into the full potential of Qi2 wireless charging. As someone who’s already deeply involved in the MagSafe ecosystem for my iPhone, I found it delightful to see this on an Android phone. I was concerned that this could end up being a one-year effort, where even if Pixel 11 models were still magnetic, Google wouldn’t do much else. Thankfully, Google proved that fear wrong.
