Google’s Pixel 6 series cannot charge with the power of 30W that the official charger can handle. Google announced this in a blog post. The Pixel 6 Pro charges at maximum at 23W and for the Pixel 6 it is 21W. With this, Google confirms what has already been shown by tests.
Pixel 6 and 30W charging
From testing Android Authority As it turned out, Google’s Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro do not charge with the maximum power of 30W with Google’s official charger. Google has now confirmed that information itself on its website Pixel forum.
The official charger, which is sold separately, can handle a power of 30W, but the peak speed is limited to 21 and 23W on the Pixel 6 and the Pro version, respectively. Google gets because it didn’t make it clear beforehand that the phones can’t charge with the maximum power of their charger. The company could have avoided that by dividing the peak charging speed in advance. We see that smartphone brands do this more often when they supply their phones with a charger that charges with a higher power than the phone itself.
Google further clarifies that the power also varies during charging. The phone usually charges the fastest from 0 to 50 percent and from then on charges slower to 80 percent. After that, it slows down again to 100 percent, because it improves the battery life.
