We know more and more about the Google Pixel 6 and 6 Pro before their full presentation. This time, Google comes directly to inform us of an important feature.

The Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro will come without a charger in the box. The firm has indeed confirmed to The Verge that the newly unveiled Google Pixel 5a will be the last to offer a charger.

An installed base, but probably slow

Apple had already caused a lot of reaction by removing the chargers from its iPhone 12 boxes. As for Apple, the reasoning is simple: almost everyone has already at home a charger.

Obviously for the brand, the reason lies in the economy, even if light per product sold, of a charger and a more compact box to transport. The ecological argument will most likely be put forward by Google.

Still, this can be a problem if you don't have USB chargers with the right connector, Google will probably provide a USB-C to USB-C cable with its Pixel 6, or if your charger is slow. People certainly have chargers at home, but probably with a classic USB-A connector, and probably old 5W to 15W chargers.

Smartphone manufacturers have been racing for fast charging for several years. You will now have to get your hands on the wallet to benefit from it.
