That new phone feeling is intoxicating. The crisp box, the peel of the protective film, and watching the Google Pixel 10 boot up for the first time with the new upgrades.

As Pixel 10 devices are arriving on doorsteps this week, some of the early issues are coming to light. For a number of Pixel 10 owners, some wireless chargers seem to be presenting an issue.
