Google advertised that before the Pixel 6 Pro was launched, it was about 50 percent charged in half an hour. After a review, the researchers concluded that the device charges 48 percent in the current time. Still, it was strange that the 5,000 mAh battery of the smartphone was fully charged in 2 hours with a 30W charger.
Android Authority examined the Pixel 6 Pro model in the laboratory. In this context, he reached a conclusion about the charging cycle. It recorded the actual current and determined at which points the charge was moving to lower currents. This is a normal action for every phone that is charging. However, the test reveals more about the actual charging speeds of the smartphone.
Pixel 6 Pro charges with a maximum of 22W
The reviewers determined that the maximum power drawn from the charger of the Pixel 6 and Pro models is 22W. It draws an average of 13W of current throughout a cycle. Testing took place not only with a 30W charger, but also with several USB-C Power Delivery PPS adapters.
When we look at the Power / Battery graph, we see that the current never even reaches 25 percent. In fact, it has fallen by around 58 percent. At this point, it takes half an hour to charge half of the battery, while it takes less than an hour and a half to charge the rest. Android Authority stated that the Pixel 6 Pro takes about an hour to fill up to 15 percent of the battery.
Seems to be a conservative approach to charging by Google. Because this makes the phone less prone to overheating around 25C.
