      Dang. I was really hoping that the Pixel 8 devices would have Qi2 built in.
      The Pixel 8 will be my first wireless charging phone in a long time. (Nexus 4)

            I have Pixel 7 and I only use wireless charging which is 20w, it's OK. And the release successor with slower charging? Interesting idea..

                Mollisol, 02 Jun 2023Not just modified but an actual Exynos chip renamed Tensor Are you kidding ??? Tensor has a whole different design than most SoCs except for the base ARM architecture, People like you who write nonsense just to get attention are the worse, sorry but please take your garbage comments somewhere else thanks.

                      Anonymous, 01 Jun 2023Tensor is a modified exynos chip. Not just modified but an actual Exynos chip renamed Tensor

                        The extremely very slow charging is the BIGGEST con a deal breaker for Pixels.

                          However if someone really wants more than that, the Magic 4 Pro offers 100W wireless, it's probably the only one to ever go above 50W, but even I wouldn't recommend using such high speeds wirelessly.

                          I have used 180W wired, and saw nothing wrong with that, but that's only because you aren't putting your phone on the very hot charger, but with wireless charging you have to.

                                    You are never gonna again see more than 50.

                                      Looking forward to tensor G3 and camera/video capabilities. If we believe what Samsung says about their 4nm node that it's far better today that what it was back in the day...so if G3 delivers close to what snapdragon 8g2 or mediatek 9200 in terms of perf per watt with a decent modem and improves the camera while maintaining sane prices I will keep and eye on it.
