magsafe qi2 case with pogo pin in center of magnetic array and ribbon wire that sends power from pogo pin directly up into USBC port of the phone
draft - pixel - 60 watt usb + 40 watt magnetic pogo pin - can we get 60 watt usbc charging and 40 watt magnetic pogo pin charging? a single pogo pin smack dab in the center of the qi2 circle could enable 40 watt magnetic battery backs that are backward compatible with qi2 25 watt, but a dedicated pogo pin in the center could do 40 watts with zero heat issues
And / or -
how about a case with a pogo pin / pins / small ring, in the center of its qi2 magnet array, with a power wire that goes directly from the pogo pin down to the bottom of the case, and then up into a case-built-in USBC port into the phone? this way, a potential "point of failure" would be on the relatively easy to replace case itself, instead of the expensive phone.
I believe the failure of the moto Z line was that magsafe qi2 didn't exist back then in the late 2010s, compared to now when magsafe / qi2 is more of a standard. by integrating something nonstandard (pogo pin(s)) into an established standard (magsafe / qi2), it could help to more easily "legitimize" the idea of a hybrid pogo pin / qi2 kit where a magsafe battery that "goes with" this new “potential standard” (having pogo pins or some sort of direct contacts energy flow setup built into both a case and a corresponding set of accessories like a battery pack. There was a time when we could carry spare batteries with us in the early to mid 2010s, and so, we could be away from a wall all day, and then in the afternoon, and again in the evening, we could simply hotswap a full battery to replace the empty battery. Magsafe is kind of “supposed” to be the successor to doing this but i think a better solution would be something *with* a pogo pin just like how the batteries we hotswapped had direct contact energy pins.
