Early purchasers of the Pixel 10 model experience trouble with wireless charging, characterized by erratic behavior and slow speeds.

In recent times, some Pixel 10 users have reported issues with wireless charging, with their devices stopping to charge after a few seconds or minutes. This problem has been discussed on Reddit and reported directly to our tip box.

It appears that the root cause of these issues may be linked to the Qi2 update and the switch from the "EPP" or "extended power profile" to the magnetic power profile (MPP). This update has affected charging speeds for some users, with some chargers only providing speeds as low as 5W.

However, it's important to note that slower charging can actually be beneficial for battery health, although it might be inconvenient if not expected.

To ensure the best wireless charging experience and to avoid such issues, it is advisable to use a charger with Qi2 certification. The WPC's database contains a long and ever-growing list of Qi2-certified chargers. Some of these include the ESR Qi2 magnetic wireless charger, Baseus Picogo Qi2 power bank, Ugreen 25W MagFlow Qi2.2 charger, Anker MagGo 15W Qi2 charging stand, and Belkin Qi2.2 25W foldable charging stand.

The Baseus Picogo Qi2 power bank and the Anker MagGo 15W Qi2 charging stand have full MPP certification, ensuring optimal charging performance. Other manufacturers offering Qi2-certified wireless chargers with full MPP certification include Belkin, SCANSTRUT, and UGREEN.

It's worth mentioning that the Pixel Stand's slower charging is likely due to Google's semi-proprietary fast charging method being updated to be a part of the Qi2 standard.

Android Auto can cause the Pixel 10 devices to lose battery while in a wireless charger in a car. However, there's no indication in the WPC database that the Pixel 10 series has a charging limit for non-Qi2 chargers. Older wireless chargers might cause slower charging or intermittent charging issues for Pixel 10 devices.

For those experiencing issues with car chargers, it's worth checking if they are Qi2-certified. Top comment by Andreas Ronacher mentions that he is experiencing issues with a car charger that worked fine with his Pixel 9 Pro, but not with his Pixel 10 Pro.

In conclusion, to ensure a smooth wireless charging experience with your Pixel 10 device, it's recommended to get a charger with Qi2 certification. This will not only provide full-speed charging but also help avoid potential issues that may arise from using non-Qi2 certified chargers.
