Amazon is currently offering the official Google 30W USB-C Charger and Cable for $30.49 shipped. Normally fetching $35, this is only the second notable discount at cents under our previous mention and a new all-time low since launching alongside the Pixel 6 last fall. Google’s official 30W charging bundle was designed to deliver improved refuel times to its latest 6 and 6 Pro smartphones. 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. 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.
Though if you’re in the market for something even more compact to throw in the everyday carry, our recent hands-on review of the Anker 20W Nano Pro charger is worth a look. Coming in one of four unique colors, these USB-C adapters are as compact as it gets without sacrificing on the charging capabilities.
