AnonD-701312, 06 Oct 2017Maybe I'm reading it wrong. But you could use a 45w charger... morePower (Watts) = Voltage x Current
USB-PD can vary continuously up to 5A and up to 20V max.

Doing nothing tells the manufacturers that people are ok spending 1000$ and receive less for their money.
Soon enough, manufacturers will slowly raise the prices of phones even more to close to 1500$ in the next 5 years
By not buying these phones that costs a monthly rent, manufacturers WILL be FORCED to lower their prices especially Apple since the R&D department literally does nothing but find ways to upgrade the SoC.
There's a reason why oneplus is doing so well since they're offering similar hardware at half the price

Maybe I'm reading it wrong. But you could use a 45w charger with the 27w make Pixel 2. Watts don't work like Volts and amps.

Only sold 5,000 phone after a month. Big failure right there. I wont be surprised if Pixel not selling well. Lack of attractive point to buy this Pixel. Other than great software support there is nothing else to it. Practically android version of Apple.

If you look for a job, you want as high salary as you can too isn't it, if the company has no alternative then they'll have to hire you, if they can't afford to then they'll have to make do with a so called "less capable" cheaper person.

The 18W charger is still more practical. And good luck finding a manufacturer that would bundle such a huge brick inside the phone's box.

The reason why Samsung and apple are charging ridiculous prices is because they have a marketing department but google in no way shape or form justified to charge such insane prices

I can buy 5 mid range phones for the price of a pixel 2 XL and that's way too much to pay for a phone.
Oneplus 5 (although i absolutely hate it for being a copycat) offers exactly what the pixel 2 XL and more with the exception of display, camera and waterproof

You get more, and longer, support, a better camera, more consistent battery life, the smoothest software experience available on Android, the fastest fingerprint reader, etc. Let's not pretend that Google is charging as much as Samsung without introducing "similar" value into the product.

But i do admit that this is still better than Apple's solution just to include a 5W charger (A huge joke for a premium phone to take 4 hours to charge iphone 7 plus)

Google is slowly turning into apple.
Pay more for faster charging? Why not include it in the box since I'm paying nearly 1000$ for a phone, i expect every single feature and options given to me inside the box. ( Alcatel does this right with the idol 4s which came with VR headset, JBL headphones, Incipio case, Tempered glass screen protector for only 400$!!!!)
If we keep these companies bending us over and we stay quiet about it, then within the next 3 years, the only thing we would get is a phone in the box without charger (pay 70$ for slow charging or pay 120$ for fast charging).
This is unacceptable and we should do something about this BS
