Pixel 6 series will no longer come with a charger

Since Apple refused to provide chargers on the grounds of environmental protection, more and more device manufacturers have begun to stop providing chargers for users for the same reason.

For example, Google revealed a few days ago that the company’s upcoming Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will not come with a charger and users need to buy a charger by themselves.

If the user has a charger, it can be used directly, if not, you must buy it yourself. Google will not provide users with the option to purchase a version with a charger.

As for the reason, environmental protection is the reason, because many users may already have chargers, and these chargers can be reused without additional chargers provided by Google.

Of course, whether this is really environmentally friendly or to reduce manufacturing and distribution costs is unknown, but for expecting users, it may be necessary to prepare the charger in advance.

It is reported that Google will upgrade the charging power of this series of devices to a maximum of 18W, and the Pixel series can achieve the best charging efficiency when paired with an 18W charger.

But the traditional charger power is usually only 10W, and even some manufacturers provide only 5W charger power, which takes longer to charge.

It’s just that these low-power chargers can really be used. If users want to get the best charging efficiency, they still have to buy new chargers with more power.

Google is not prepared to provide users with options, that is, users with chargers can choose the charger-free version, which can meet the needs of environmental protection and user use at the same time.

Now the charger is not directly provided. Finally, the user must purchase the charger in advance before purchasing Pixel 6/6 Pro, otherwise, they can only continue to use the old low-power chargers after purchase Pixel 6/6 Pro.
