Google Pixel phones take never been speed demons when information technology comes to charging. Only the upcoming Pixel 6 could run across a boost in charging speed if a leak about one of the phone'southward accessories is to be believed.

Specifically, Android Police's retail sources claim that one of the big U.S. carriers has started inputting information most accessories prior to the Pixel six's likely release this fall. Ane of those entries describes a "Google Pixel 23W WL Stand up" — in that location's fifty-fifty a screenshot to support the claim.

The new Pixel Stand reportedly comes with a fan to help keep information technology cool while charging your Pixel six at a faster clip.

The original Pixel Stand topped at 10W charging, so 23W is a big improvement, even it it's not the fastest wireless charging around. The OnePlus ix Pro supports 50W wireless charging, and there'due south an optional stand that can deliver that blazing speed.

Still, if the Android Police leak is authentic, 23W wireless charging would be faster than what the 15W speed supported by both the Samsung Galaxy S21 and iPhone 12. It's also an improvement over the Pixel 5's 12W wireless charging speed.

Google could have enough of reasons to want to speed upward charging on its smartphones, not the least of which would be to brand the Pixel vi stand out from the oversupply. Simply reportedly, Google's upcoming flagship will feature bigger batteries than before — 4,614 mAh for the Pixel 6 and 5,000 mAh for the rumored Pixel 6 Pro — so at that place's a need to charge upward those batteries more quickly.

While we're on the subject of charging speeds, the Pixel five'southward 18W charging speed is nothing to write home virtually either, but there's no word in the Android Law report if wired charging will get a like boost. Previous Pixel 6 rumors have pointed to 33W charging for the new Google phone, though.

Beyond amend charging speeds, the Pixel 6 is shaping upwardly to be one of the near interesting Pixel phones in a practiced, long while. The new telephone could fifty-fifty arrive as soon every bit this month, if rumors are to be believed. Google has already confirmed the Pixel half-dozen will exist powered by a new in-firm Tensor scrap that figures to bolster its AI capabilities. We're also expecting two versions of the phone, with the Pixel half dozen Pro offer the larger screen.
