Title: Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro set to offer 33 W charging but no charger in box
Post by: Redaktion on August 19, 2021, 12:10:29
The Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro have been claimed to ship without any chargers in the box, but that doesn't mean the phones will offer lackluster charging. A new exclusive claims that the upcoming flagships will deliver 33 W fast charging—better than what Samsung offers at the moment.

Why are we fetishizing charge rates and pretending that it's not a ploy to facilitate quicker battery deterioration through heating and thereby forcing consumers to buy phones more often? I hope Google keeps the charge rate nice and low.

I'm not aware of any phone that doesn't allow the user to limit the charge rate to something much slower.  I'm confident this Pixel will as well if you are concerned about battery degradation.

So if you want your phone to charge at 33w you have to pay extra??
That is stupid in 2 ways...
1 you have to pay extra and maybe wait for it to get delivered!
2 extra boxing is not a way to show that you are a green company!!

Sorry Google, but this is a major FAIL!!
