The Pixel 10 Pro Fold supports up to 39W wired charging, and Google specifically recommends a 45W USB-C charger to get its fastest charging curve — around 50% in 30 minutes. The Google 45W USB-C charger covers this recommendation directly, with headroom to spare.

Why Google Recommends a 45W Charger for a 39W Phone
Foldables run a dual-battery system with a charging controller that benefits from extra power headroom, even if the phone's stated peak draw is below the charger's maximum. A 45W PPS charger gives the Fold's controller more room to fine-tune power delivery across both battery halves, which is why Google names 45W as the recommended spec despite the phone's own ceiling being lower.
Practical Buying Advice
- Don't be confused by the 39W vs 45W numbers — buy the 45W charger as Google recommends, since the phone will simply draw what it needs
- Use a PD-rated USB-C to USB-C cable; foldable hinges make cable durability worth prioritizing
- Since Pixel Fold devices are frequently imported into Pakistan, confirm your charger is a genuine PPS-capable unit

FAQs
Why does Google recommend a 45W charger if the phone only draws 39W?
The extra headroom helps the Fold's dual-battery charging controller manage power delivery more precisely, which is why Google's own recommendation is 45W rather than exactly 39W.
Will a 30W charger still work on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold?
Yes, safely — Google's own testing uses a 30W charger for the ~50% in 30 minutes figure, but a 45W PPS charger will charge it a bit faster still.
Is this charger compatible with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold too?
Yes, the Google 45W USB-C charger works across the Fold lineup, since they all use the same USB-C PD/PPS charging standard.
