I'm looking at the Pixel 9 Pro XL. I've suffered from battery anxiety in the past so any phone I get has to have a long lasting battery.
I see that the Pixel 9 Pro XL can charge at 37 watts. I currently don't have any chargers capable of delivering this spec. I would need to buy a charger to take advantage of the faster charge speeds of the Pro XL.
Google sells a 45 watt charger in the Google Store for $29.99 (no cable included). This charger has some funky voltage/amperage stats. Apparently they are achieving 37 watts by cranking up the voltage to 20 volts and 21 volts rather than the amps.
Output:
PD: 5V/3A, 9V/3A,15V/3A, 20V/2.25A
PPS: up to 11V/3A, 16V/3A, 21V/2.25A max 45W
Here is an Anker charger with basically the same specs but doesn't come with a cable, for $19.99
Here is an Anker Twin Pack of 45 watt chargers that has basically the same output specs as the Google charger, comes with cables, for $29.99. However, the design of the brick/plug configuration means it will block the adjacent outlet, meaning you can only plug one thing into a dual outlet receptacle.
I suppose the safe play is to buy the Google 45w Charger...
What charger would you buy if you were getting the Pixel 9 Pro XL?
