They offer high quality chargers as well add on that that for now only Spigen this model and samsung original chargers support "15w" other brands even if they support 15W but not compitable with S23 ultra , they top up at 10W only

I have stand Samsung charger from my s10+ and issue is that camera lenses are to low and i can't put on it in vertical position as the phone is not aligned to the charger, i need to charge in landscape.... Just a note...

I just got this on Amazon for about $50. It was 60 and 20% off, plus tax, versus $90 before tax and shipping at Spigen's site. So, almost half off.

I have these and they are dissapointing. The problem with wireless charging is a lot of the efficiency gets lost to heat due to the distance from the coils and the phone, material in between, etc. The phone heats up and then the charging speed gets throttled. Its not worth it. I have the google pixel stands which run fans on everything and its slower, but the charge rate is steady and gets the job done as fast as this exact model. For 80 dollars, (60 for one) it should be cooling the phone, and also come with a gd charging adapter. Just a huge rip off.

Wireless charger

Any information on the new wireless chargers? Seeing as it's $90 vs last years model with can be had for much less, is there that much of a difference?
Buy one of these, I had these on my S7 Edge and Note 7 and they all charged wirelessly "fast".

How can these be so cheap?? Are they safe?
With the Nexus 6P, the charging cables are USB C on both ends. Are the samsung cables the same way? Are these wireless chargers USB C or micro usb?
Here are a few recommended on reddit.

I have 3... Great so far. One at work, one at home, one with my gf. I think they have to compete with the samsung chargers that are flooding eBay.
This is the one I use myself on the S7 Edge, it does fast charging and uses a USB-C cable:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K1CKKDI/
Its best advantage of galaxy s6 , s7 and and galaxy edge model have a wireless charger .
I was looking for a Qi "Docking Station" and found the Samsung Qi charging stand "open box" deal on Amazon and could not pass it up at $25 shipped. Only had it 24 hours and seems pretty decent on an S6 Edge Plus. Uses a standard micro-USB not the USB-C.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BMDQ9U8
When I got it the seal on the factory box was opened, but the unit appeared brand new, came with everything else sealed and even had all the protective wrap on it.
2 brand new white ones for $43 from samsung.com
How much slower do the 'fast' wireless chargers charge it vs the stock usb c cable charger? Last time i tried it was on my S5 and its so much slower than charging with a cable that it just wasnt worth the minor reduction in hassle of not having to plug in the cable, but if it was charging almost as fast then it might be worth it.

Probably wasnt. But I havent seen any data on how fast the fast wireless charging is vs fast cable charging. I suspect the wireless is still much slower but if not then I will probably look to pick up a good charger for it.

Its pretty fast I tested it with my S6 and Note 5 last year. I dont have the exact numbers but its much faster than regular wireless charging. I don't recall if it was as fast as plugging it in but it's pretty close.

Ok I found something on the S7 Edge saying 9% to 100% took just over 2 hours on fast wireless and 90 mins with cable. Not too bad but cable still over 33% faster. I think they said the s8 had slightly faster wireless charging than the s7 but didnt say by how much or provide any data on it.
In this review of the new wireless charger it shows that its plug is rated for both 5V at 2A or 9V at 1.67A, so it should support 15 watt charging, for QC 3.0 speeds. Wish they weren't $90, I need two of them...

Question What charger?

So we have the official 30W charger for £25 at Google store, which I believe most people will be going for.
The pixel 6 requires PD 3.0 with PPS for full 30W fast charging. Since chargers will no longer be available in future phones and to avoid buying chargers again in the future when charging speeds increase I thought it might be best to go for a higher charging capacity USB-C PD PSS charger.
Fortunately Spigen have a 45 Watts PD 3.0 PPS charger on amazon with charging cable included.

This should save folks from buying a charger in the future when charging speeds get increased once again.
The good thing is that this one is currently having a 25% off promotion until the end of this month, so turns out cheaper than the official Google fast charger!

Stupid question sorry, but if a charger shows fast charging, I guess that means it's fully compatible?

No its not. It will charge at normal speeds only. For example if you use a oneplus dash charger it won't charge your pixel at 30W.
A handshake for fast charging is made between your phone software and the charger and therefore they both need to adhere to a contract between the two. This is where we need standards so that chargers become compatible across all manufacturers.
Samsung has already moved to PD PPS standards.
Google is trying to push all manufacturers to use PD 3.0 PPS standard so that all become compatible.
Also note that the higher capacity charger you purchase the more future proof you are. For example even with a 45w charger you can't charge your pixel 6 more than 30w as that is what your phone software will allow. But at the same time it means you can use the same charger to fast charge one of your latest Samsung devices at full 45w potential via USB C PD PPS (and potentially future Pixels that allow even faster charging).
I have been looking at this one that looks to be compatible. It doesn't have the future proof of the 45w above as it is 30w - but it is relatively cheap.

Even if you plug your 18W charger into your phone it will say charging rapidly. It doesn't mean its charging at the full 30W capacity!
Any USB c charger will eventually charge your phone.

That should do as it has the PD 3.0 standard with PPS. A word of note that you will see 30W chargers just with PD 3.0 but no PPS. These will charge slower than those with PPS but should still be more rapid than the previous gen 18W fast charger.

Just ordered the Spigen 25% discount £22 bargain thanks for heads up
I have had my eye on that spigen charger for a while now. I am actually a big fan of spigen. I have had every pixel and I have used a spigen case for each one.
I actually don't like using those high amp chargers. I only use them when i am in a pinch like i forgot to charge my phone and i gotta go. I use a chargie with a 1amp usb port on my power strip. And i only charge to 80 percent. Again if i am in a pinch or if i know i will be gone from a charger for more than 10 hours i will charge to 100 but that rarely happens. My pixel 4xl used to last all day plus and I had it for 2 years and when i traded it in the battery was still at 98 percent health.
I have a question though since we are talking about chargers. I have a lenovo chromebook that uses a 45w usb c charger. can i use that on my pixel 6? I have the base model 6 not the pro. Or will that damage it? I would assume that it would be ok but just want a second opinion.

This charger oozes quality. It is slightly smaller than the pixel 5 18w charger, comes with a higher quality braided cable, in all much better value than the Google 30w charger.
Indicates it's charging rapidly so hopefully getting full 30w
If you're not testing your charger with a usb C meter of some sort, you're almost certainly not getting 30W.
These pixels appear to have an apple style restriction on chargers. Something many people are missing is that not all PPS chargers are created equally. Google specifies 21v whereas most of the pps chargers on the market top out at 11v.
I've tried 3 different 65W 11v PPS chargers and they all top out at 18-20W.
I then specifically bought a 21v capable charger and still it tops out at 18-20W.
I'm extremely disappointed Google decided to take this anti consumer approach. The chargers I have tried are by all means technologically superior to Google's charger in every way and yet this arbitrary restriction means I'm forced to buy Google's if I want 30W charging.
I can include links/photos/videos if anyone is curious.

"Up to 45W(5.0V=3.0A, 9.0V=3.0A, 15.0V=3.0A, 20.0V=2.25A, 3.3V-11.0V=3.5A, 3.3V-16.0V=3.0A)"
^ Taken from the amazon page for the Spigen charger.
No support for 21V so no 30W fast charging. Even if it did support 21V, I doubt it would go over 18-20W, based on my findings.
Of course it's ridiculous because even with "only" 20V, the charger can push 2.25A which is more than enough for 30W charging. I don't understand the point of PPS if the voltage/current combinations are not dynamic. The implementation of PPS so far seems to make a mockery of the intended purpose of the standard.

Question Wireless Car Chargers

I need to buy a new phone mount for my car, so might as well get it with qi charging. Does anyone have a qi car charger they are liking for their Pixel 6?
I just ordered a cheap 15w from eBay which is magsafe suitable. I'll post more infos when it arrives.

Seems to work well so long as you use a QC 3.0 adaptor in the car to power it. Then it charges at around 2A. Works through the case I have and doesn't require a 'magsafe ring/adaptor' stuck to the case to make it stick. The motorized clamp is cool, though the novelty will no doubt wear off soon enough.
I noticed most suggested QC 3 charger so I bought one plug in for my car and replaced my cigarette lighter in the truck with a dedicated USB. What a difference charging. Now I just need to settle on a wireless mount.
Yes, annoying to have to buy a QC3.0 plug when the world is moving to PD
The Pixel 6 uses PPS for the fastest speeds (which is a subset of PD 3.0). So while QS will still charge your phone faster than a standard charger, it is not the standard needed for the fastest charging on this phone.
Anyone looking to purchase a new wired charger for the Pixel 6 series should look for one that has "PPS support" and at least 30 watts of charging power. If you are looking for wireless charging, look for a Qi charger with at least 23 watts of charging power. Anything else is going to provide slower charging speeds.
Edit - I should note that apparently not all PPS chargers are working at max charging speed on the P6 either (even those with 30w or more of power). To be 100% sure your charger will be at max speed, you probably want to buy the Google brand one. Of course this is exactly why Google has made the charger an issue in the first place - to sell their version.
Anyone try these with wired Android Auto? Wondering if that works.

Not a fan of fast charging myself - just reliable (wireless) charging But certainly I would only recommend a QC 3.0 device to enable a Qi charger to charge reliably where PD was not an option for it. The Qi charger I referenced does work using a conventional 2.4A 5V car adaptor, but the battery % stays the same (it doesn't go up or discharge) so it's only offsetting the discharge rate of the phone.

That's a nice little unit. I do like vehicle specific designs.
I got a magsafe compatible wireless charger with a QC 3.0 adapter.
On first test with an approx 30 min drive and gps I lost 2% battery and phone was hot.
Second test with gps and approx same drive i gained 2% battery and phone was warm.
Last try and with screen off/no gps, I gained 20% battery and phone felt normal.
I was wondering if a wireless charger with a fan would work better but for now will just plug in if i want to use gps.

Question Which wireless chargers do you use with google pixel 6?

I am looking for wireless charging options, 5W/10W/15W, there are so many names which I am hearing for first hence wanted some reviews before buying.... please suggest.

Thanks, is it fast charging at full 15w?
the pixel stand gen 2 is the only one which will lets you charge in 21W or 23W for the pro version.
Otherwise check out any of the 15W qi certified wireless chargers.
I recommend the anker 15W, it's probably the best and most reliable brand.
Or the xiaomi 50W wireless charger, it has active cooling so you can always get the full 15W even if it's hot outside.
Thanks Xiaomi 50w charger is yet to launch here, will have too easily I guess, there are no other chargers with fan

Question 3rd party charger

What specs should I look for when looking for a 3rd party fast charger for the S23?
Just go for a Samsung brick/cable. The 25w ones are cheap and reliable.
If Samsung hadn't gotten so chintzy they still ship a complete phone set. Is that too much to ask for in a $1G flagship phone?
Samsung sucks now... more money, less perks.
Also, it will ensure you have access to the gaming functionality to have the phone plugged in and not charge the battery. If that's something you would like, then having a compatible PD charger is required. All my third party ones are not compatible... But the Samsung one is. I'm sure there are third party chargers compatible with that functionality but I couldn't tell you which.

^That's a long overdue feature.
The OEM brick makes battery troubleshooting much easier as well. They have a very wide input voltage tolerance. The 25w brick will slow charge at 60 VAC!

The OnePlus 9 one will charge the S23U at 45W (was doing so on my S22U already).
I would make sure your charger has USB-PD with PPS. And that the PPS range it at least 12V at 5A. Most chargers limit the current in PPS mode at 3A. If the charger listing does not show the specs, try looking for "Samsung 45W", that seems to be the layman's term.
You may also need a 5A cable, a small chip in the cable telling the devices that it is capable of carrying up to 5A current.

The OnePlus 9 one will charge the S23U at 45W (was doing so on my S22U already).

And I ordered a Spigen PowerArc ArcStation Pro that just came by (I'm slowly replacing the old chargers for GaN ones), and it also is compatible with 45W charging.
For 25,49€, it fills the needs perfectly (smaller than the 1+9 brick, power efficient, more affordable).
I got the '45W USB C Super Fast Charger, 313 Charger, Anker Ace PPS Fast Charger Supports Super Fast Charging 2.0 for Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra/S23+/S23, S22/S21/S20/Note 20/Note 10' for £20.99, lucky really as its gone up to £24.99 now............interesting timing hey as when I bought it they didn't include the S23 Ultra

It's always a tight decision between Anker and Spigen, but recently I've been increasingly going for Spigen. The build quality is getting my favours, and they also have the "Designed for Samsung" label on an increasing number of products, which is guaranteeing that the quality is controlled and approved by our Korean friends. And as they're falling in the same price range for most of their products, if I'm buying stuff to pair with a Samsung device, then Spigen is my go to.
I've also been trying some Baseus products (docking station and USB cables), they're quite good in that segment of products too.
The handy size of the Anker done it for me
