        And to add insult, it still does not come with a charger in the box. Thanks, crApple for starting another awful trend.

            This isn't an "issue" as such, nor is it specific to the Pixel 6. This was true of the Nexus 5X and 6P too. USB-PD is a standard and if the cables aren't correct to the specification,, they won't work. Some manufacturers may not have stuck to the specification to allow a broader range of cables to be used.

              "but it's also a bit frustrating given the fact that Google didn't include a compatible charger in the retail box."

              Bingo. Unless you're going to accept all cables/chargers, you have to include it for this reason.

                A colleague at work had issues with his, he forgot his charger and asked us at work if he can borrow one.

                The apple one and my LG one refused to charge it, same with multiple Xiaomi ones.

                The Samsung one he borrowed from another colleague did work.

                I understand Google doesn't want you to use trash chargers, I still know too many people with Samsung and iPhones, even when both had chargers in box and people broke the OG charger and replaced it with trash that "is on the edge of burning your house down" quality.

                But dear Google, original iPhone, LG or Xiaomi chargers are totally safe, so WTH are you not accepting those?

                      Hey Google, aren't you ashamed that some cheap Poco phone suffers no damage from whatever charger you use, but your expensive Pixel devices are of so poor quality and fragile that you fear it can't do the same???

                      I pose these questions also to those who gladly give away their hard earned money for inferior quality overpriced products. Their spending habit is a major cause of these ridiculous, anti-consumer practices.

                        That's just another lame excuse for forcing you to buy expensive charger. Just like they do with headphone jack and TWS. The truth is, if Google fears their phones could be damaged from some random charger then it only shows their quality is poor! Superior quality product will endure more things you throw at it compared to poor quality products. This is another simple fact and common sense which consumers severely lack nowadays. They believe and swallow everything manufacturers and popular YouTubers/websites/media say.

                            This phone is probably the biggest fail of 2021 - totally useless trash phone that's overshadowed by pretty much all other mid-range phones.

                              Next time go for Samsung to avoid issues. One UI is miles better.

                                Many Android brand get more and more Apple like 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
