No wireless, no problem!

[jimbo1mcm]

Wireless charging used to be high on my priority list. At one time I had an Iphone and got a device that was thin and fit inside the leather case I had and I could charge it. My Galaxy S7 Edge had wireless charging and I liked it a lot. But it was not a deal breaker. So now I plug my HTC 10 in and I'll plug my Pixel in when I get it. The Quick Charge feature works great. If I measured the time I take to plug it in, vs putting in on the charger, it might vary a half a second.

Agree jimbo - had wireless for Droid Turbo - no wireless on ZForce, plugging in with USB C is not an issue.

Yeah...but think of all the time saved NOT having to plug in a cord!!!!! I mean, seriously.


/End obvious sarcasm!

I think of all the time spent fishing behind my desk for a cable that fell, or the time drunk trying a micro USB and getting confused...

Two hints:

1) Clip a binder clip to the end of the charger wire. Keeps it in view and wherever you want.
2) Charge it before going out.

Both those would require adulthood

Trust me...according to my wife I am the biggest "child" around at over 45+.

A bender of Rhinegeist Truth or Great Lakes Nosferatu...or a LOT of Lite at the game tends to start the conversation...LMFAO!

I really wanted wireless charging on this. It's so convenient, and I am so used to it. Almost baffling that it was left out of the Pixel. Oh well ..

Never had wireless charging so don't know what I'm missing if anything. I only charge overnite anyway so don't see a problem plugging in a "C" plug once every 24 hours.

It's definitely no deal breaker for me but I'll miss it.

Wireless is one of those nice to have features. Quick charge is much more important and useful, so I'm happy with it

Same for me. I have the Verizon wireless charger stand on my desk at work and it is so convenient. Not sure it is a deal breaker, but I will miss it.

I was hoping it would have wireless charging as well, just because my charging port broke on my current phone and I have invested in wireless chargers for both work and home... Not sure if I am going to buy this phone when I get the chance or not but it would have been nice to just keep the wireless chargers around, it is very convenient!

This is a big factor in me thinking about the Pixel as a replacement for the Note 7. I can't believe how spoiled I've gotten by wireless charging. I bought a bunch of the chargers and have them everywhere I frequent.

 

[russell1997]

disappointed there is no wireless charging but it's not a selling factor for me.

I love wireless charging!! Charging pad on my desk, nightstand, end table, and wireless holder in car.....saves the charge port, which is a very common failure point ( USB C may be more durable, time will tell )...but, It's nice to be able to lay the phone down and pick it up....

Wouldn't be a deal breaker for me either. I actually have a wireless charger but I can't use it when/where I normally charge my phone which is while I'm sleeping. The light from it sorely messed up a decent night's sleep so it collects dust mostly with barely an occasional use plugged in elsewhere in the house. I need my sleep more than I need a fast charging phone.
