Google’s Pixel 5 launch is still months away but that hasn’t stopped the leaks from happening. The official moniker “Pixel 5” was spotted in Android Open Source Project code and now a new feature of the phone has been discovered in the Android 11 Developer code. The Android 11 Developer Preview was released just a day ago and the latest code reveals one of the key features of the next-gen Pixel devices. The Pixel 5 will apparently support reverse wireless charging. This essentially means users can charge other wireless charging supported devices by placing them on the back panel of the Pixel 5.

Android 11 DP1 Has References to Pixel 5 Wireless Charging
The news comes from XDA developers, editor-in-chief Mishaal Rahman who first spotted this feature in Android 11 Developer Preview. There is a new Battery Share feature in the Settings menu. This is said to be Google’s version of reverse wireless charging. Rahman also shared the screenshot of the “Battery Share” feature inside the code. The feature comes with a warning that reads, “Your phone’s battery will run out faster when using Battery Share.” The picture of the feature reveals Battery Share will be compatible with smartphones, earbuds, smartwatches, among other products.
In addition, Rahman said the said feature would be limited only to Pixel smartphones. He said the activity name is prefaced with “com.google. android” instead of simply “com.android”. This hints the Battery Share will be a Pixel exclusive feature and not available on other Android devices.
