I’ve completely switched to Qi2 power banks, and I can’t go back

Wait 5 sec.

Credit: Rita El Khoury / Android AuthorityWhen I realized that my brand new Pixel 10 Pro XL doesn’t work well with my existing Qi power banks, I went looking for new Qi2 options and assumed I would use them the same way I used my previous portable batteries, wireless or not. Plug in or magnetically attach when my phone’s battery is running low on a busy day, give it an hour or so, and manage to make it to the end of the day without the phone dying.But over the last few months, something slowly shifted in the way I’ve been using the few Qi2 power banks I own. Of course, they charge my phone — I haven’t figured out a magical trick to use them in a different way — but it’s the when and how that have changed for me.
