Google Pixel phones finally have built-in magnetic rings with the Pixel 10 line. This feature has long been missing from mainstream Android phones, although MagSafe has been available in every Apple flagship since the iPhone 12 in 2020. You could still use magnetic accessories with older phones, but you needed a magnetic case to enable MagSafe or Qi2 compatibility – that changed with the Pixel 10 series.

Google calls this feature Pixelsnap, but despite the different name, it’s almost exactly the same as MagSafe. It has incredibly strong magnets, works with most MagSafe accessories, and features Qi2 technology for faster wireless charging. Whether you call it MagSafe or Pixelsnap, you’ll want to use good magnetic accessories for your Pixel 10. Luckily, since magnetic accessories designed for iPhones now work with Pixel phones, you can also use some of the best MagSafe gadgets for everyday use with your Pixel 10.

The best magnetic accessories for the Google Pixel 10 include lightweight portable power banks, car mounts that charge the phone and have built-in active cooling, slim wallets that double as stands and tripods, and various other gadgets that you’ll use in your daily routine.

You can’t always pull out your laptop to check important emails, and you can only take calls on a charged phone. For most people, even browsing and payments are tied to their phone. So you’ll need a way to charge your phone on the go, and a magnetic power bank checks that box while taking advantage of your Pixel 10’s built-in magnets.

There’s no shortage of good power banks for the Pixel 10, and many of them are also MagSafe or Pixelsnap compatible. There are name brands like the incredibly slim Anker MagGo power bank that you can get for $80 or the Ugreen MagFlow power bank for $60, both of which offer a 10,000 mAh battery. For this list, we chose the iWalk Magnetic Power Bank for the Pixel 10, which is rated 4.4 stars from over 300 reviews on Amazon and can be had for around $34 in an ongoing deal.

The iWalk is one of the most space-efficient magnetic power banks, and it comes with a built-in cable that doubles as a carrying strap. It has a USB-C port in addition to the cable, allowing you to charge up to three devices at once, and it has a comfortable grip with a very strong and reliable magnet. Unlike the Ugreen MagFlow or Anker MagGo, this charger doesn’t support Qi2.2’s 25W charging speeds and only goes up to 15W wirelessly. This puts it a notch below the rest when it comes to charging a Pixel 10 Pro XL (the only Pixel 10 model with Qi2.2 support) – however, the standard Pixel 10 and smaller Pixel 10 Pro don’t support 25W wireless charging and top out at 15W to start.

With card payments as common as they are today, most people can get by without carrying cash every time they go out. You still need physical cash, but carrying, counting, and then paying with bills is much less convenient than paying digitally. This change has also affected wallets, and you don’t always need a bulky bifold wallet, although there are some very reliable RFID wallets you can find online.

Instead of a separate accessory to carry your cards, you can attach a thin MagSafe or Pixelsnap wallet to the back of your phone and then forget about it for most of your day. These may not offer the same space as traditional wallets, but they are more than capable if you only carry a few cards. Of the many MagSafe wallets you can use for your Pixel 10, we’ve found the Moft Tripod Wallet to offer the best value.

You can get the Moft wallet on Amazon for $49, where it has an average rating of 4.4 stars from just under 3,000 reviews. It gives you enough space to store your most important cards, works as a stand to prop up your phone, and additionally makes a decent enough tripod for recording videos. Note that the Moft wallet can only store two or three cards; If you want something with a little more space, the $60 UAG Kevlar MagSafe Wallet is one of the most durable options on the market. You can also get a cheaper, more budget-friendly alternative, like the $19 ESR MagSafe Wallet, which is also pretty reliable for its price.

Car infotainment apps like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are essential if you drive daily. Whether it’s navigating using Google Maps or listening to music, they offer too many convenient features to pass up, which is a shame they’re not accessible to everyone. Luckily, using a car phone mount with your smartphone can be one of the best Android Auto alternatives.

We chose the ESR Qi2 Car Mount Charger as our pick. If you’re buying a phone mount for your car, it’s best to buy one that also charges your phone. It’s even better if you get a Qi2-certified charger to ensure your Pixel 10 can use 15W charging speeds. Notably, this charger features ESR’s CryoBoost technology. The magnetic load usually gets very hot, because it is inefficient and much of the incoming power is lost as heat. This can slow down charging as your phone reduces performance due to overheating, and it can also cause long-term negative effects on your phone’s battery. This is even more of an issue with car mounts since many are exposed to direct sunlight, which is why active cooling is so important here.

On Amazon, the ESR Qi2 Car Mount has a 4.0-star rating from over 300 reviews. Although it’s currently not available there, you can still purchase it at Walmart for $39. You can also opt for the top-rated ESR MagSafe CryoBoost Car Mount Charger, available on Amazon for $29 currently with a 4.3-star user rating from over 5,000 reviews. This charger should work just as well as the other, but since ESR doesn’t specify that it’s Qi2 compatible, it may not charge your Pixel 10 as quickly.

Phone holders are handy, as are phone grips. What’s not practical is having to remove one accessory and replace it with another every time you want to switch from holding a phone to placing it on a stand. If you want to be able to enjoy the benefits of both without the small annoyance of switching between gadgets, we recommend the PopSockets MagSafe Kickout Stand.

When not in use, this accessory is an incredibly thin circle on the back of your phone that you’ll barely notice. You can then remove the middle PopSocket to use as a phone grip, or open the stand to prop up your phone. The stand itself is incredibly versatile, allowing multiple viewing angles in landscape and portrait mode thanks to its rotation mechanism. It is also very stable, despite its appearance.

You can get the PopSockets MagSafe Kickout Stand for $40 on Amazon, where it has a 4.5-star rating from over 500 reviews. It’s more expensive for the grips and phone holders, but since you get them both in one high-quality accessory from a reputable brand, it’s worth it.

We have discussed some reliable power banks and batteries that you would want for your Pixel 10, but they cannot replace your charger. There is an official Google Pixelsnap charger, but at $40 for a wireless charging puck that can only charge one device – increased to $70 if you want Pixelsnap support – there are much better value purchases.

One of the best chargers we found for the Pixel 10 is the Iniu 3-in-1 Qi2 Wireless Charging Station. This charger is available on Amazon for just $35, where it has an average rating of 4.4 stars from over 1,300 reviews. Compared to the $40 Pixelsnap Charging Puck that doesn’t have a stand and only charges one device, you get a charger that can wirelessly charge three devices at once, has a sturdy stand that you can use from multiple angles, and is also portable. All that, and it’s five dollars cheaper than the most basic Google Pixelsnap charger.

Qi2 means it also gives your Pixel 10 device 15W charging speeds, and despite the lack of active cooling, users say it stays relatively cool. It’s much smaller than your phone when folded and thinner than a traditional charging brick, making it very easy to carry. Overall, it’s a great charger, but probably best if you own Pixel Buds or an Apple Watch to make better use of its 3-in-1 capabilities.

Most Apple MagSafe accessories are compatible with Pixel 10 phones, which means there are already plenty of gadgets to choose from. So we narrowed the field down to the categories we found most useful for daily routines (power packs, chargers, wallets, and stands), then manually selected the best options among them.

To make our final cuts, we reviewed user testimonials and analyzed independent tests to arrive at a list of what works best. Every item on this list has an Amazon rating of 4.0 stars or higher, as well as authentic third-party testing and reviews. Additionally, for chargers, we’ve made sure the options on this list can deliver the full 15W wireless charging that the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro are capable of. We’ve also taken special care to ensure that all of these Pixel 10 accessories fit the phone’s form factor, which is often an issue with larger phones like the iPhone 17 Pro Max or Pixel 10 XL.
