With the upcoming unveiling of the Pixel 10 phones, Google seems to have a surprise in store, hinting at a significant charging upgrade. While Qi2 wireless charging is already on the radar, leaked information suggests a notable speed enhancement for wired charging as well.
Accidental revelations by retailers like PC Canada indicate the introduction of a new ‘Google 67W Dual Port Power Adapter’ priced at $79. Considering that the Pixel 9 phones can reach up to 37W via USB-C, could we be looking at a 30W bump-up for the Pixel 10 series?
Google’s current 45W charger outpaces the Pixel 9 Pro XL, hinting that the Pixel 10 might not hit 67W but could realistically upgrade to 45W, aligning it with competitors like the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This new charger featuring dual ports aims to distribute power efficiently for charging two devices simultaneously.
While the focus has been on the excitement of Qi2 wireless charging and upcoming ‘Pixelsnap’ accessories, faster wired charging speeds are a welcome improvement. Google and Samsung have lagged behind competitors in this aspect, making this potential upgrade all the more crucial.
The final details will be unveiled at the upcoming Made by Google event, offering a comprehensive look at the Pixel 10’s charging capabilities. Stay tuned for more updates and in-depth coverage of the Pixel series as the launch event draws near.
