How fast is the charging speed of the Google Pixel 9?
What about the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL?
Best answer: The Pixel 9 supports fast wired charging at 27W, and the same goes for the Pixel 9 Pro, while the Pixel 9 Pro XL supports 37W charging. As for wireless charging, the Pixel 9 charges at up to 15W, the 9 Pro at 21W, and the 9 Pro XL at 23W when using the Pixel Stand (2nd Gen). All three phones support wireless charging at up to 12W with standard Qi chargers.
Charge your Pixel 9 quickly with a cable or wirelessly
The Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, and Pixel 9 Pro XL all promise more than a day of battery life, and even longer if you use the Extreme Battery Saver option. For fast charging, Google recommends using its own 45W fast charger. While all three phones support the same charger, actual charging rates vary by model. The Pixel 9 and 9 Pro have the same 4,700mAh battery capacity and can charge up to 55% in 30 minutes.
The actual charging rate for both phones is 27W, with Google’s 45W charger. The Pixel 9 Pro XL has a larger 5,060mAh battery, but Google claims its battery can charge up to 70% in 30 minutes. This is because the XL charges at 37W using the same adapter.
It’s a similar story with fast wireless charging. The Google Pixel Stand (2nd gen) allows the Pixel 9 to charge wirelessly at up to 15W, while the Pixel 9 Pro can charge up to 21W and the 9 Pro XL up to 23W. If you use your own Qi wireless charger, all phones are limited to up to 12W. The Pixel 9 series also supports reverse wireless charging via a feature called Battery Share, so you can charge other smaller devices like the new Pixel Buds Pro 2.
The Pixel 9 series is just one of the devices that will be unveiled during the Made by Google event in August 2024. The event also saw the launch of the new Pixel 9 Pro Fold, which Google says can charge for hours in just a few minutes with the 45W charger, and the Pixel Watch 3, which also boasts faster charging speeds and a new larger 45mm model.
You can pre-order the Pixel 9 series now, starting at $799 for the base model Pixel 9.
Pixels for everyone!
The Pixel 9 series offers Google’s widest range of Pixel phones yet, with something for everyone. The batteries are a little larger compared to the Pixel 8 series, but thankfully they can be charged just as quickly, either wired or wirelessly.
