Well, folks, Google just pulled a fast one with their Pixel 10. And no, it’s not another AI feature that can make your mom finally understand social media! This time, they decided to bid adieu to the Battery Share feature, which allowed you to juice up your friend’s phone on the go.
Now, hold on to your chargers because Google’s introducing shiny new Qi2 magnets! These little wonders support next-gen wireless charging but come with a kicker: no more reverse charging. Yep, you can’t share your Pixel 10’s battery goodness anymore.
Google explained the decision wasn’t just a cruel joke; those magnets have a “physical limitation” when it comes to reverse wireless charging. So, if you were hoping to impress your pals by charging their dead phones with your Pixel 10, you might want to stick to good old-fashioned kindness instead—or carry a power bank.
In the grand scheme of things, it’s a reminder that tech evolves fast, sometimes leaving our beloved features in the dust. But hey, at least you’ll have a more powerful device to hold onto, right? So, keep that battery alive, because now it’s all about you, baby!
What do you think: is losing Battery Share a bummer or is it about time we focused on better tech instead?
