Google has already unveiled the next-generation Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro flagship smartphones and has confirmed that the devices will get launched in the fall this year, without revealing the exact timeframe.
The Google Pixel 6 Pro has passed through Taiwan’s regulatory body National Communications Commission (NCC) and it reveals that the phone will support these charging speeds — 5V/3A (15W), 9V/2A (18W), 9V/3A (27W), and 11V/3A (33W). This was first reported by XDA-Developers.
This new report is in line with the previous report which claimed that the Pixel 6 series smartphone will have a top charging speed of 33W. This is a significant improvement in the charging speed compared to the previous generation models which were limited to 18W.
Google has also hinted that the Pixel 6 series smartphones won’t come with a charger in the box. So, there’s no cost to the company as it won’t be bundling the 33W power adapter and the search engine giant will be selling the charger separately.
Many flagship smartphones these days, especially the ones from Chinese brands, comes with support for much faster charging. Currently, the top charging speed for a flagship smartphone is 120W but 200W wired charging technology has already been announced and is expected to be available in smartphones from next year.
However, the charging speed reported for the Pixel 6 series falls in line with the charging speed of smartphones from Samsung and Apple. The South Korean giant offers 45W top speed on its device while Apple’s iPhone 13 lineup has support for up to 25W charging.
The Pixel 6 comes with a 6.4-inch Full HD+ display offering a 90Hz refresh rate while the Pro model has a 6.7-inch QHD+ display offering a 120Hz refresh rate. The standard model features a dual-camera setup on the back while the Pixel 6 Pro has a triple-camera setup — a wide-angle lens, an ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 4x telephoto lens.
The photography performance is expected to top the charts as the chipset is said to be focused on photo output and uses artificial intelligence along with machine learning.
The highlight of the Pixel 6 series remains its processor as the phones will come powered by Google’s own chipset — Tensor. Apart from on-device AI and ML capability, the chip is also claimed to have significant improvement in translation, captioning, and dictation. The chipset is likely to be an unreleased Samsung Exynos 9855 SoC.
