Don’t just buy a Pixelsnap Charger without thinking about your USB ports
TL;DR
  • Some new Pixel 10 owners are running into trouble with Google’s Pixelsnap Charger due to insufficient power input.
  • When buying a charger, make sure that the device you want to power it with is capable of meeting its listed needs.
  • Google requires 35W of input to use the Pixelsnap Charger at full 25W output.

Charging phones is finally exciting again! Well, maybe “exciting” is overselling it — and not so much “again,” we guess — but charging is absolutely having a moment. With magnetic Qi2 support on the Pixel 10 series, and fast 25W wireless charging on the Pixel 10 Pro XL, Android users are getting in on that MagSafe fun and having a blast doing it.

While new Pixel 10 owners have no shortage of options to turn to for their charging accessories, the allure of Google’s own Pixelsnap devices is easy to understand. Unfortunately, some users appear to be buying Pixelsnap Chargers without checking the power requirements first, and are understandably having a pretty frustrating time as a result.
