Google unveiled its new Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro last month. Since the announcement of the products, people have been reporting the issues that are clogging the Pixel 6 series. First, the reports came out that the Google smartphones have encountered display issues, which the company said will be fixed with an update in December. People also reported about the slow fingerprint sensor on the smartphone’s display. Another thing that Pixel 6 owners have noticed is the slow loading speed.

Android Authority was the first to release a report claiming that the Google Pixel 6 and the 6 Pro are limited to charging speeds of 22W, “with an average of just 13W over a full cycle”. The publication states that “at no point while the phone was charging” did the speed increase to 30W. For those of you who didn’t know, the Google Pixel 6 doesn’t come with a charger. Instead, like Apple, Google sells a separate charging stone for the smartphone with an output of 30 W. However, according to the Android Authority, the smartphone does not charge at the speed that Google states on the charging stone.

After reporting on the Pixel 6 series’ slow charging speed in the publication, Google has now officially confirmed in a blog post that the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro do not have a 30W charge. Google says the Pixel 6 tops out at 21W and the Pixel 6 Pro at 23W charge speed.

In the blog post, Google says that “the high energy density cells in the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro were designed to strike a balance between battery life, longevity and fast charging.” It states that regardless of the power rating of the wall adapter, “the actual power delivered during a full charge cycle will vary over the course of a single charge. The charge rate at any point in time is based on factors such as battery cell and system design, temperature, system usage and state of charge. “

Google means that the phones can get their peak power of 21W and 23W from the separately available 30W charging adapter. However, this does not mean that the phone will charge at this rate throughout the charging cycle – the battery charging rate may decrease for “battery safety” reasons. According to the company, charge rates drop to a slower pace to 80% after half an hour. Over 80% the phone charge rates are reduced even further to “minimize deterioration and extend the life of your battery”.
