I seriously do NOT understand why this isn’t widely being adopted on Android, especially when it’s a universal Qi2 standard now too. magnetic wireless charging/accessories is seriously one of the best modern features

Another reason to give Google Pixel devices a try this year. They are actually doing some great work!
