ThePixel 7andPixel 7 Proonly featured 20W and 23W charging respectively, a fraction of my OnePlus. If rumouredleaksare to be believed then the Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro will feature 27W and 30W charging. That’s a slight upgrade but still a long way away from some of the otherbest Androids.

Of course, charging speed is a moot point if the phone’s battery takes an age to drain, and it could be argued the new Pixels will be some of the longest-lasting phones on the market. Both phones have seemingly received a bump in battery capacity (more so the entry-level Pixel 8) and with a rumoured move to a G2 Tensor chipset, we would hope for improved battery efficiency.
Fingers crossed that the leaks are wrong and that the charging speed is more than estimated. In fairness, the charging speed of theiPhone15 Pro Max is only 25W so Google has seemingly overtakenApplethere. As for wireless charging, it is once again expected the Pixel 8 pro will top out at 23W, still much faster than the iPhone 15 range.
With two manufacturers of the best phones shunning this super fast speed, perhaps the real lesson here is that I need to plug my phone in before I go to bed.
