Retailer leak suggests Google’s Pixel 6 will have 23W wireless charging

Google may be working on a new wireless charging stand for its Pixel phones, according to a leaked image from a retail inventory backend mentioning a “Google Pixel 23W WL Stand” posted by Android Police. The name suggests the charger might support 23W wireless charging, and if Google does eventually release that support, it seems likely that the next Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro would also support 23W charging.

This wireless charging speed, if accurate, would be higher than the iPhone 12’s maximum 15W wireless charging with a MagSafe charger and would exceed the 10W wireless charging offered by the original Pixel Stand ( which is still available on Google’s online store). Google did not respond to a request for comment.

The company revealed the first details on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro earlier in August. They appear to be promising devices, especially with their new Google-designed Tensor system on a chip, and the 23W wireless charging could make it an even more attractive purchase. Google plans to release these phones this fall, and if this new charging stand is real, it seems likely that it will come out alongside them, especially since the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro won’t ship with a charging brick. included.
