Yes, the Pixelsnap magnets on Pixel 11 are stronger this year

Pixelsnap is one of the best things added to Pixel phones in a number of years, but it wasn’t quite a perfect first attempt. Luckily, this year those pesky magnets are a little stronger and more reliable on the Pixel 11 series.

Yes, the Pixelsnap magnets on Pixel 11 are stronger this year

Pixelsnap magnets on the Pixel 11 series have been strengthened for this year, making them more reliable and secure in connecting accessories to the back of the phone. The improved magnets have a slightly stronger grip compared to the previous Pixel 10, requiring a bit more force to remove the kickstand. While the connection is not as strong as the Magsafe technology on an iPhone, it is getting closer to that level.

Currently, only Google, HMD (Nokia), and Motorola have incorporated magnets in their Android devices, with Samsung relying on cases for similar functionality. The Pixel 11's enhanced Pixelsnap magnets offer a more seamless experience for users who prefer not to use cases on their phones.
