Google Pixel and Pixel XL are equipped with magnets for a smart flip case

The Pixel and Pixel XL both feature a magnetic circuit next to the G logo on the back of the phones which turns the display on or off when in close contact to a magnetic field. HTC has used the same mechanism in the past for its DotView and IceView flip cases since the introduction of the HTC One M8.
