Every Google Pixel charger uses USB-C Power Delivery with PPS. We tested the USB-C PD chargers that hit full speed on the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 8 series and Pixel Fold — so you can skip Google's overpriced adapter and charge your phone and laptop from one brick.
With full USB PD PPS support, this 65W GaN charger hits the Pixel's maximum 27–45W speed on one port and powers a laptop or second phone on the other. One small brick for every Pixel model and your MacBook or Windows laptop too.
A 30W USB-C PD/PPS charger reaches full speed on the standard and Pro models.
Needs a 45W PPS charger to reach its peak charging rate.
A 65W dual-port GaN charger powers your Pixel and a USB-C laptop together.
Pick a charger that explicitly lists PPS support — without it a Pixel caps at ~18–22W even on a high-wattage charger.
Every modern Google Pixel — Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, Pixel 8 series and Pixel Fold — charges over USB-C using USB Power Delivery (PD) with the PPS extension. Google does not include a charger in the box, so you need a USB-C PD charger separately. Any quality 30W+ USB-C PD/PPS charger fast-charges a Pixel at full speed.
The Pixel 9 Pro XL peaks at about 37W, the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro at ~27W, and the Pixel 8/8 Pro at 27W/30W. A 30W–45W USB-C PD charger with PPS support delivers maximum speed for every current Pixel. Google’s own 45W adapter only reaches full speed on the Pro XL; a good third-party 45W PPS charger matches it for less.
Yes — Pixel phones use USB PD PPS (Programmable Power Supply) to reach their top charging speeds. A plain USB-C PD charger without PPS still charges a Pixel, but caps out around 18–22W. Multi-protocol GaN chargers from UGREEN, Anker and Baseus include PPS, so they hit the Pixel’s full 27–45W.
Yes. Samsung Super Fast chargers use USB PD PPS, the same standard the Pixel needs, so a 25W or 45W Samsung PPS charger fast-charges a Pixel well. Any certified USB-C PD/PPS charger works — you are not locked into Google’s branded adapter.
A 45W USB-C PD charger with PPS is ideal for the Pixel 9 Pro and 9 Pro XL — it reaches full speed and future-proofs you for laptops and tablets. A 65W dual-port GaN charger is even better value, charging your Pixel at full speed while topping up a second device.
Yes. A 65W USB-C PD GaN charger fast-charges your Pixel on one port and powers a USB-C laptop (MacBook Air, Dell XPS, etc.) on another, sharing power intelligently. It is the most practical single charger for a Pixel owner who also carries a laptop.
