What to Look For in a Charger
Since the Pixel 8 relies on PPS for its fastest charging curve, prioritize a charger that explicitly lists PD 3.0/3.1 PPS support rather than just a wattage number on the box. Generic PD-only chargers will still work but noticeably slower.
Buying Tips
- Check for PPS support specifically, not just "fast charging" marketing terms
- Use a PD-rated USB-C to USB-C cable
- Buy from a seller with a genuine warranty policy

FAQs
What's the fastest charging speed on the Pixel 8?
Up to 27W with a PPS-capable USB-C charger.
Is the 45W Google charger overkill for a Pixel 8?
Not really — the phone only draws what it needs, and the extra headroom means the same charger works for other devices too.
Do I need a special cable for fast charging?
Yes, a PD-rated USB-C to USB-C cable is required to reach the phone's full charging speed — it's sold separately from the charger.
