Google finally joined the ranks with Apple and Samsung, as the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro does not include a charging brick in the box. You still get a USB-C to USB-C charging cable, along with a transfer adapter, but you won’t find a wall charger to use with the Pixel 6. It’s rather disappointing considering that Google upped the charging speed capabilities for its latest devices, with both phones capable of charging at up to 30W. Nevertheless, if you need to find the right charger, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite picks for the best Pixel 6 chargers.
It should come as no surprise that the latest Anker wall charger is on the list for the best Pixel 6 chargers. The Anker Nano II is a 30W GaN charger, providing up to 30W of power, while being one of the smallest chargers we’ve ever seen.
Going from tiny to chunky, the Baseus 65W Foldable Wall Charger makes the list because of the dual USB-C ports along with a standard USB-A. Despite looking pretty large, it’s not that bad considering that you get three charging ports, a foldable wall prong, and up to 65W charging speeds.
Anker’s PowerPort III Pod Lite comes in a bit bigger than the Nano II, but that’s for good reason. It also uses GaN technology to provide up to 65W charging speeds in a compact form-factor. With Anker’s PowerIQ 3.0 and MiniFuel technologies, you’ll never have to worry about your Pixel 6 or 6 Pro being over-charged.
With the HYPERJUICE Stackable charger, this is perhaps the most unique option on this list. In addition to having three USB-C Power Delivery ports capable of providing up to 100W of power, it also sports a USB-A Quick Charge-compatible port. But the awesome thing about this charger is that you can actually stack it to create the ultimate charger comprised of 1600W of power.
Car Chargers are often forgotten until you need to get one. If you don’t already have one and you want it to be compatible with the Pixel 6’s faster-charging speeds, the PowerDrive III Duo is the way to go. This car charger is equipped with two USB-C PowerIQ charging ports, providing up to 36W of juice while you’re driving down the road.
This 65W portable charger from Baseus sports a 20,000mAh capacity, while being able to charge three devices at the same time. This can be done via the 65W Power Delivery USB-C port, along with the dual USB-A Quick Charge 3.0 ports, capable of providing up to 30W of power each. And with the included power adapter, you can get this portable charger back up to 100% in just about two hours.
If you’re looking for the best portable charger that can handle practically anything you throw at it, look no further than the Anker PowerCore III Elite. This power bank features a 25,600mAh capacity capable of providing speeds up to 87W, while also sporting a total of two USB-A ports and two USB-C ports. This kit even includes a PowerPort 65W wall charger so you can have enough power to put some juice back in the bank.
The Anker and Baseus portable chargers are pretty great, but they are also on the high-end of the spectrum. The INIU 20W 20,000mAh portable charger is for those who just want a cheaper, but reliable, power bank to throw in your bag. There’s are dual USB-A ports along with a USB-C port, and even a flashlight wedged in between.
When it comes to the best wireless charger for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, the obvious choice comes from Google. The Pixel Stand v2 matches the wireless charging speeds found within Google’s latest devices. And when your phone is charging on the stand, it can be used as a digital picture frame, or as a smart home controller.
Samsung’s 15W Fast Charge 2.0 Stand is our next favorite pick for the best Pixel 6 charger as it is just an all-around solid charger. It’s a bit on the pricier side of things, but there’s a reason why Samsung hasn’t continued updating it year-over-year. It comes in either white or black, offers up to 15W charging speeds with compatible devices, and even has a built-in cooling fan, just like the Pixel Stand v2.
Yootech is one of our favorite brands for wireless chargers, because you just get solid accessories without breaking the bank. With this bundle, you’ll get a wireless charging stand and a wireless charging pad, so you can put one on your desk, or one on the nightstand. And no matter which way you go, you’ll always have a charger to use for your Pixel 6.
Anker’s PowerWave Pad is another great wireless charger for the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro. It provides up to 10W of charging speed, along with offering a soft-touch finish on the top so you don’t have to worry about scratching up the glass on your phone if you go without a case. The only catch here is that you’ll need to provide an AC adapter of your own in order to use it.
With this Charging Station from CHOE Technology, you’ll never have to worry about misplacing your phone on the wireless charger again. That’s because there are a total of five wireless charging coils built into the pad itself, providing a “wider charging area”. And with the PU leather surface, you don’t have to worry about your Pixel 6 accidentally slipping off the station.
