Google extends Qi2.2 wireless charging to entire Pixel 11 range with 25W support

Google has rolled out Qi2.2 wireless charging support across the entire Pixel 11 series, bringing faster 25W charging capabilities to all models and reshaping accessory choices for users seeking quick, magnetic, and versatile charging options.

Google has now extended Qi2.2 wireless charging across the Pixel 11 range, bringing up to 25W support to every model in the line-up rather than reserving it for a single flagship tier. That matters because Qi2.2, also described as Qi2 25W, raises wireless charging output above the 15W ceiling associated with earlier Qi2 devices and should cut waiting times for users who rely on pads, stands and magnetic chargers.

According to Android Central, the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro and Pixel 11 Pro XL all support Qi2 wireless charging with magnetic alignment, while the Pixel 11 Pro Fold is also compatible with the same 25W standard. The publication noted that the wider rollout is part of a broader hardware refresh announced by Google at its Made by Google event on 12 August 2026, alongside Tensor G6, which the company says is more efficient than before.

That makes accessory choice more important, especially for buyers moving beyond standard Qi charging. Phandroid’s list focuses on chargers built for Qi2.2, and the safest option for Pixel owners who want first-party support is Google’s own Pixelsnap charger. It is available either as a simple puck or with a stand, and it uses magnets to hold the phone in place securely while charging.

For users looking for a desk or bedside setup that also supports other devices, Belkin’s Qi2.2 25W 3-in-1 foldable station and Anker’s Prime Qi2.2 25W 3-in-1 foldable charger stand out. Both bundle a 45W power supply and a USB-C cable, and both are designed to fold for travel. Belkin’s model uses a soft-touch silicone finish and a non-slip base, while Anker adds temperature control to help manage heat during longer charging sessions.

There are also lower-cost single-device options. Amazon Basics offers a Qi2.2 charger with an adjustable kickstand, though it does not include an adapter, and UGREEN’s model adds ThermalGuard and MultiProtect protection systems while also requiring a separate high-wattage USB-C power brick. In practical terms, that means buyers need to check not only Qi2.2 compatibility but also the required adapter wattage, the presence or absence of a built-in stand, and whether they want a dedicated Pixel accessory or a more universal charger.
