Google has responded to claims that the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro did not charge as quickly as some had hoped, confirming that their charging speed was a deliberate change. The digital trend Technical.

This comes in the context of the published statement Android Commission The maximum power draw of the phones was found to be around 22 watts, which is much less than the 30 watts that a new charger can do. USB-C Technically provided by Google.

A company spokesperson confirmed that maximum power was inspired in the community support post Pixel6 The Pixel 6 Pro is 21 watts and 23 watts, respectively, when used with a charging unit USB-C 30 watts.

He added that the charging speed also slows down as the phone is full of batteries to maintain longevity, and the spokesman said the battery can be designed for higher power density or faster charging, which requires capacity transfer to reduce battery degradation..

In other words, a phone can provide longer battery life or faster charging, but it can’t do both at the same time. As a result, Google has made it a priority to extend battery life and design phones to receive less power while charging..

If you use a powerful charger, no phone will charge particularly fast.

Phones do not use Google charger much

The batteries are very large and may take a long time to fully charge, but due to the long battery life, you will only need to charge them while you sleep..

Although the Google Support Documents do not explicitly mention the charging speed of the new phones, many felt that their compatibility with Google’s 30W charger (sold separately) was approaching the maximum charging speed of 30W, and they expected to charge. Much faster than strongly charging. 18 watts is supported by the phone Pixel5.

But got a report Android Commission The actual power draw of both phones peaks at 22 watts, with an average of 13 watts on a full cycle.

This means phones are charging much slower than you expect. With innovation Android Commission The Pixel 6 Pro takes about two hours to fully charge.

It is 49 minutes slower than the phone Galaxy S21 Urtla Samsung has a battery with similar capacity, but with a charging speed of 25W has been announced.

The Power Draw on Google phones is so conservative that its 30W charger will charge the Pixel 6 Pro 10 minutes faster than the old 18W charger..

Google does not claim that phones are 30W charged. Instead, it reported time to go from 0 to 50 and 80% when charging with a 30W charger – 30 minutes and about 60 minutes, respectively, which is in line with the findings. Android Commission In his trials.
