The Google Pixel, over time, has gained a notable position in the smartphone market, attracting a dedicated user base. While it may not have the same level of popularity as Samsung Galaxy phones or iPhones, new releases of the Pixel still generate excitement. The latest additions, the Google Pixel 6 and the Pixel 6 Pro mark a significant shift as they feature Google’s own Tensor chip, setting them apart from competitors.
The Pixel 6 is equipped with a 90Hz refresh rate display, while the Pixel 6 Pro has a 120Hz refresh rate display. The base Pixel 6 model comes with 8GB of RAM, and the Pro model has 12GB. Google has introduced an adaptive battery technology intended to extend battery life by prioritizing power to actively used apps. However, according to a review by MKBHD, this technology doesn’t seem to significantly enhance the battery performance, resulting in average battery life.
A notable improvement is the Pixel 6’s support for 30W Programmable Power Supply (PPS) fast charging. However, using a standard USB-C Power Delivery charger will result in a slower 18W charge. Given that the adaptive battery feature doesn’t markedly improve battery life, having a fast charger becomes more important for quickly recharging the larger batteries of the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. This guide is designed to recommend chargers that are well-suited for these latest Google phones.
VOLTME 35W Port Charger
The first charger I recommend for fast charging your Pixel 6 is this VOLTME 35W charger. Regarding single port charging, PPS is available; therefore, you can charge your Pixel 6 faster if you’re charging it alone with this charger. If you’re charging two devices simultaneously with this VOLTME charger, the max output bumps up to 36W, and each port can output 18W. You won’t be able to charge your Pixel 6 at max speed when charging two devices, but it’ll charge faster than a standard 12W USB-A port; you’ll also be able to fast charge another phone simultaneously.

UGREEN 45W Nexode 2 Port Charger
This UGREEN 45W charger is an upgraded version of the previous VOLTME charger I recommended, with this one having 45W of Power Delivery available if you’re charging one device. 45W of Power Delivery is enough to charge most USB-C laptops, and when charging your Pixel 6 alone, you have access to PPS that can charge the Pixel 6 faster. For dual charging, the power split between the two ports becomes 25W and 20W of Power Delivery, so you can at least charge your Pixel 6 at around 18W while fast charging another phone or tablet.

GravaStar 65W 3 Port Charger
This GravaStar 3 port charger takes a bit of a different design than other chargers because it looks like a robot. However, the charging power is still there. This GravaStar charger has a 65W max output, and you can pull the total 65W via the USB-C 1 port if you’re charging one device at a time. Yes, this is more than enough charging power for your Pixel 6, but if you have a USB-C laptop, this GravaStar charger can fast charge your Pixel 6 and your laptop. PPS is available if you’re charging your Pixel 6 alone via the USB-C 1 port on this charger, and you can still get 20W via USB-C 2 if you’re charging from the two USB-C ports simultaneously.

UGREEN RG 30W Robot Charger
Yes, I again recommend a cute robot charger; this time, it’s from UGREEN. This UGREEN RG charger is much more on the minimal side because it only has a single 30W Power Delivery USB-C port. The USB-C port does feature PPS for fast charging your Pixel 6 and can fast charge most phones with its charging protocols. Also, since this charger only has one USB-C port, it’s very small and easily portable. Design-wise, this charger looks like a robot and has a screen showing a smiling face during charging. It’s an excellent charger if you only want to fast charge your Pixel 6 and want a change of pace with all the other boring chargers on the market.

Baseus 100W 4 Port Charger
Recommending this Baseus 100W charger is a bit odd, considering that it’s a 100W charger that can fast charge your Pixel 6 from USB-C 1 or 2. The main reason I’ve recommended this charger is if you want to fast charge a laptop and charge your Pixel 6 or Pixel 6 Pro simultaneously while you charge a laptop. Even if you’re charging four devices simultaneously with this Baseus charger, the C-1 port can still output 60W, while the C-2 can output 20W.

INIU 30W Power Delivery Wall Charger with Quick Charge
This INIU wall charger with a USB-C Power Delivery port is a much more straightforward and lower-priced option and a USB-A Quick Charge port. This INIU charger has a 30W max output shared between the USB-C and USB-A ports; if you’re charging two devices simultaneously, you can’t use the fast charging from either of them. You can only fast charge if you’re charging a single device.
The USB-C port does use PPS, so you can fast charge the Pixel 6 at 30W, but that can only be done when charging the Pixel 6 alone. The USB-C Power Delivery port can be used to charge USB-C laptops, but with a 30W charge rate, you are mainly limited to charging Macbooks or Chromebooks, as most laptops that charge via USB-C require more than 30W.
The charger does not have a foldable plug, but it makes that up with its small form factor. Learn more about the INIU 30W Fast Power Delivery Wall Charger in my review article.
UGREEN Magnetic 20W Power Bank
Charging your Pixel 6 with a power bank and any other phone can be a must if you’re someone who heavily uses your phone throughout the day. This UGREEN power bank features a wireless charging pad that you can use to charge your Pixel 6 without needing a cable. This power bank has a magnetic charging pad compatible with iPhones, so you won’t be able to attach your Pixel 6 magnetically, but you can at least charge from it. That said, if you want faster charging, you can use the 20W Power Delivery USB-C port on this power bank, and there is a USB-A port, too.
This UGREEN power bank has a 10,000mAh battery capacity to charge the Pixel 6 to full power about one or two times. See my full review article on the UGREEN Magnetic 10,000mAh 20W PD Power Bank.
iWalk LinkPod 4,800mAh Power Bank
This iWalk LinkPod USB-C, mini power bank is one of the most easily portable and easy-to-use types of power banks I have reviewed. The charger is tiny because it has a 4,800mAh battery capacity to charge the Pixel 6 nearly to full power and get you through your day. The best part about this iWalk power bank is that it has a built-in USB-C connector that you plug directly into your Pixel 6, and the USB-C connector has a 20W Power Delivery charge rate for fast charging.
The USB-C connector can also recharge the power bank by plugging it directly into a USB-C port on a wall charger. There is a USB-C port on this iWalk power bank that you can use to recharge the power bank directly. Read my review article or watch my video review of the iWalk LinkPod USB-C Mini Power Power Bank.
Baseus 160W Car Charger
Fast charging your Pixel 6 while you drive is possible with this Baseus 160W car charger, and you can charge a laptop simultaneously. This Baseus car charger has a 100W output via C-1 and a 30W output via the C-2 and USB-A ports. The car charger can output a total of 160W if the car socket you have it plugged into is powerful enough to provide enough power, and included in the box is a USB-C to USB-C cable. Explore the features of the Baseus 160W 3 Port Car Charger in my detailed review article or video review.
