Pixelsnap: Efficient, Effortless, Wireless Charging for Pixel Devices

Wireless charging is a tidy and convenient way to keep your tech properly powered up: phones, tablets, smartwatches, and earbuds. Using a wireless charger allows you to free yourself of cables. Just set down your device to charge it quickly and effortlessly.

So, how does wireless charging work? Think of it like Wi-Fi, but for power. The charging pad creates a small, invisible energy field. When you place your phone on it, your device safely draws power from that field to charge its battery. Just set your phone down to power up – no more fumbling with cables or accidentally yanking the cord from the wall.

Bonus: Effortlessly pop wireless chargers into place for more efficient charging, thanks to Pixelsnap technology on the latest generation of Pixel phones.

Erik Larson is an architect in New York City with an eye for thoughtful design. He started using wireless chargers a few years ago because he wanted to remove clutter from his bedside tables. Now, Larson has gone wireless at both his home and his office.

“I like wireless charging because I find it adds an intentionality to my phone use, especially at work. I choose to set aside my phone to let it charge – and actively not pick it up in order to have it charge. That’s been a welcome improvement,” Larson says.

Larson travels frequently for work and always makes sure to bring his magnetic phone charger for a seamless setup, no matter the destination. And as a design-minded professional, Larson finds having a wireless charger to be more aesthetically pleasing.

“Not having to deal with a wire charger always fraying feels luxurious,” Larson says. 

Wireless charging has become even more secure with the addition of magnets. When your smartphone and charger are connected with a magnet, they won’t slip apart. It’s simply easier. 

Wireless charging is more widely available than ever before. Most Pixel models – including

Bradley Sheets, a PR professional living in Portland, Oregon, keeps a wireless phone charger on his nightstand, which he and his wife use to charge their Pixel phones.

“I like to use my phone to catch up on news when I wake up – and not having to deal with a plug first thing in the morning is a small bit of luxury for me,” says Sheets. “

“When you consider wireless charging as a feature alongside the camera, display, and smart capabilities,” says Sheets, “it’s another great reason to have a Pixel – and something I would miss if I didn’t have it.”
