Magnetic wireless charging for smartphones is gradually making its way into the Android ecosystem, with Motorola being the first major brand to introduce built-in magnets. Recently, a leaked "Moto Snap" wireless charger has surfaced, potentially indicating more Qi2 technology coming to Motorola's product range. The Motorola Edge 70 Max, Motorola's first device with Qi2 magnets, supports 25W charging and houses the magnets inside the device itself, unlike Samsung's approach of placing them in separate cases.
This charger joins a small list of devices, primarily Google's Pixel 10 and Pixel 11 series, that utilize this technology. Despite being a rarity in Motorola's devices, the Edge 70 Max has managed to join the exclusive group. Images of a magnetic wireless charger, dubbed "Moto Snap," shared by Evan Blass on Twitter/X reveal a charger with a braided cable, purple accents, and a metal casing around the back and USB-C plug.
The similarities with Pixel branding aside, the Motorola-branded charger may suggest that the company plans to expand Qi2 magnetic wireless charging across its product line. However, given that most of Motorola's devices are in the budget segment and do not initially include wireless charging, it remains uncertain how significant this development could be for the brand.
