What’s the Best Phone Charger for Google Pixel 6a?
The Google Pixel 6a was released this summer and has already received overwhelmingly positive reviews for its performance, durability and affordable price point. But even the best phone is no use if you can’t get it charged. If you’re thinking about getting this new phone, you might be wondering “what’s the best charger for a Pixel 6a?”. If that’s the case, read our expert guide for everything you need to know about charging the Google Pixel 6a.
What are the battery specs for the Google Pixel 6a?
The Google Pixel 6a has a 4,410 mAh battery. It can support fast charging with a n18W charger, which will charge from empty to full capacity in less than two hours.
Google estimates that the battery life for the Pixel 6a is around 24 hours, but this is likely to be lower with heavy use. It uses an adaptive battery that learns your favorite apps, saving power on those that you don’t use very often. The Google Pixel 6a has an Extreme Battery Saver which could extend your battery up to 72 hours, allowing you to choose which apps you want to run.
Does the Google Pixel 6a come with a charger?
Technically, the Google Pixel 6a doesn’t come with a charger. It does come with a USB-C to USB-C cable, which allows you to charge your Pixel if you already have a wall adaptor, power bank or through another device like a laptop. However, it doesn’t include a new power adaptor with the phone.
This is a relatively new policy from Google. Before the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro phones were released in late 2021, every Google phone did come with a power adaptor in the box. The last model to do so was the Pixel 5a, released in August 2021.
Why doesn’t the Google Pixel 6a come with a charger?
Google says the reason it will no longer be providing a power adaptor with its phones is because most people will already own a USB-C charging adaptor. Not putting one in the box will therefore create less waste. This is a similar stance to other major phone manufacturers, like Apple and Samsung. However, it has still been disappointing for Pixel users.
It might be true that not including a charger with their phones leads to less waste, but older chargers and power adaptors might not utilise the latest technology. This could mean Pixel users miss out on getting the fastest charge for their phone unless they upgrade their charger.
Does the Google Pixel 6a have wireless charging?
No, the Google Pixel 6a does not have wireless charging. Like the other Pixel ‘a’ models, such as the Pixel 4a and the Pixel 5a, the 6a does not have the capability to wirelessly charge without the use of a third-party adaptor.
This may be because these models are the ‘budget’ versions of their counterparts, and so sacrifices in some of the features have been made to keep the price low.
