We're on the final stretch before Google's big event on August 20, but the rumor mill doesn't stop. The leaks are coming thick and fast, and the latest one reveals some good news for Pixel fans around the world.
The leak comes from two retailers eager to prepare their trading platforms for tomorrow's launch. PC-Canada and TrueData IT (picked up by Android Authority) have listed publicly some of the Pixel 10 series accessories, and there are surprises.
There's a new power adapter in the listing, the “Google 67W Dual Port Power Adapter” in a Snow color (typical Google naming scheme). Last year, Google launched a 45W power brick to go with the Pixel 9 series, and now it seems that we have a bump up in power.

It's important to mention that the existence of this 67W power adapter doesn't mean the Pixel 10 series is going to support 67W wired charging speeds. According to the latest rumors, the charging will cap at 30W for the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro and 39W for the Pixel 10 Pro XL.
But the listings bring other good news concerning the price. The new 67W charger is listed for CA$79 (~$57 USD), which is double the price of last year's 45W brick. The good news is the price of the Pixelsnap Charger stand, listed for CA$99 (~$72 USD), is actually cheaper than the Pixel Stand 2.
This year's Pixel 10 series is rumored (pretty much confirmed by all the leaks) to come with Qi2 support. This is the equivalent of MagSafe with magnets and wireless charging, plus the option for a wide variety of third-party accessories.
The Pixelsnap Charger and stand is the first such accessory coming directly from Google, and most of the leaked cases also come with magnets on the back to offer support for the new standard.
Would you buy the Pixelsnap stand for $99 CAD?
Yes, seems like a great accessory!

Pixel 10 series leaks and specs
The latest "grand" leak about the Pixel 10 family came from EVLEAKS, one of the most trustworthy sources when it comes to smartphone leaks and rumors. Most of the information was already out there, but let's recap what we expect from the event tomorrow.
Pixel 10 rumored specs:
6.3-inch Actua display;
Google Tensor G5 processor;
12GB RAM;
48 + 13 + 10.8MP triple rear-facing camera system;
20x zoom capabilities;
4k video recording support;
10.5MP front-facing camera with autofocus;
24+ hours of battery life;
Pixelsnap wireless charging.
The vanilla Pixel 10 comes with some nice upgrades in the hardware department, but it's not radically different from its predecessor. We have to wait and see how Google markets this one and what features lurk under the hood.

Pixel 10 Pro and Pixel 10 Pro XL specs:
6.3 and 6.8-inch Super Actua screens;
Google Tensor G5 chip;
16GB RAM;

100x zoom;
8K video recording;
42MP front-facing camera with autofocus;
24+ hours of battery life;
Pixelsnap wireless charging.
The 100x zoom technology is something to be looking forward to, given how good Google's processing algorithms are. Again, no major differences from the last generation, just polishing some corners here and there.
Advanced triple rear camera with 20x zoom capabilities.
The Pixel 10 Pro Fold is expected to bring some upgrades in the battery department, which is paramount when we have a device with two display, one of which a huge 8 incher. Other than that, we expect the camera system to be the same as the one on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
