The Google Pixel 10 Pro supports up to 29W wired charging, the same ceiling as the standard Pixel 10. Despite the "Pro" name, the charging upgrade to 45W is reserved for the Pro XL this generation. The Google 45W USB-C charger still works great — it simply supplies what the phone requests.

Pixel 10 Pro vs Pro XL: The Charging Gap
This generation, Google reserved the full 45W charging upgrade for the larger Pro XL model. If you specifically want 45W charging, the standard 10 Pro won't reach it regardless of the charger used — the limit is on the phone's side, not the charger's.
Should You Still Buy a 45W Charger?
Yes, if you want one charger to cover multiple devices — a Pixel Tablet, Chromebook, or a future upgrade to a Pro XL or Fold. The Pixel 10 Pro will simply draw its own 29W ceiling regardless.
Buying Tips
- Don't overpay expecting 45W performance from this specific model — it's capped at 29W by the phone itself
- Confirm PPS support for the fastest charging within that 29W ceiling
- Use a PD-rated USB-C to USB-C cable
Where to Buy in Pakistan
