With the Pixel 6 series, everyone thought that Google finally embraced fast charging and added 30W fast charging to its latest flagship lineup. Well, not really. Although Google is selling a 30W fast charger with the Pixel 6 series, a new analysis from the folks over at Android Authority has found that the device doesn’t actually charge at 30W fast-charging speeds.
According to the report, the Pixel 6 charging speed maxes out at 22W, instead of the 30W speed Google advertises. In addition, the charging speed further dropped to 15W in the second half of the charging cycle at around 62% battery capacity. It then falls to 12W around 75% capacity and goes as low as 2.5W right before the battery entirely fills up.
