Google‘s latest Pixel 6 series models are signposted by the impressive camera setup in both models. The Google Pixel 6 Pro also got a top 10 rating in terms of its camera performance, but it seems there are still some issues relating to the stated fast charging potential of the new product. A recent test showed that the Samsung Galaxy S21 outperformed the Pixel 6 in charging speed and fingerprint recognition speed. Although the test details were not fully provided, another test has now shown that the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro’s 30W charging capability may not be entirely correct.pixel 6 security app

A wired charging test of the Google Pixel 6 seems to confirm the charging speed is quite slower than what was officially stated by Google. The official Google Pixel 6 Support page had stated that up to 50% charge could be accomplished in 30 minutes, using the Google 30W USB-C Charger with USB-PD 3.0 (which is sold separately). However multiple tests with the official 30W USB-C Charger revealed that the maximum power that was obtained from the two Pixel 6 models was 22W, with an average of 13W over the full charging cycle. The tests seem to be extensive, with some other high-power USB Power Delivery PPS plugs from Samsung, Anker, and Elecjet, all getting maximum power of 22W from the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro.

The results also show significantly higher average charging times for the Pixel 6 series compared with the Pixel 5, and also Samsung Galaxy S21. While the Pixel 5 has a 4,080mAh battery, the Pixel 6 series comes with a 5,000mAh battery. This observed drawback of the Pixel 6 series could be the result of several issues, although there had not been any reaction from Google at this time. It seems however that full disclosure of the charging cycle has not been provided by Google, although its claim of achieving 50% charge within 30 minutes seems valid from the tests.
