Amazon is currently offering the official Google 30W USB-C Charger and Cable for $26.31 shipped. While you’d more regularly pay $35, today’s offer delivers the first discount of the year at 23% off. It comes within cents of the all-time low, and is also the first price cut we’ve seen since the Pixel 7 launched last fall. Google’s official 30W charging bundle was designed to deliver improved refuel times to its latest 7 and 7 Pro smartphones and is as notable of an addition to your everyday carry as it is for having a second charging station at the desk or elsewhere in your home. The compact wall adapter pairs with a 1-meter USB-C cable to complete the package, all with the official Google seal of approval attached. Our in-depth hands-on review details exactly how the charger stacks up and how it compares to third-party alternatives, too. Head below for more.
As far as more affordable alternatives go, ditching the first-party seal of approval is a great way to save some extra cash. While you’ll have to supply your own cable, this 27W Spigen USB-C Charger at $18 will deliver much of the same experience to your Pixel 6 series smartphone without the Google premium attached. We found it to deliver a similar all-around charging experience to the 30W offering at nearly half the cost.
There are also plenty of other unique USB-C chargers worth considering out there, too. We recently took a hands-on look at the new Fuel Brites USB-C offering from Case-Mate, which delivers some ultra-satisfying translucent tech in a 30W GaN package. You can read all about the charging experience in our review, though Shargeek also stepped in to showcase its upcoming Macintosh-inspired Retro 67 USB-C that takes a different, yet just as nostalgic approach thanks to a built-in working LED display.
