If you were expecting that your existing wireless charger can charge your Pixel 3 or Pixel 3XL quickly, we have bad news for you. Google just confirmed to The Verge that at the moment only the Pixel Stand can pull fast 10W wireless charging on the new Pixels. Google says they are working with its partners from its Made for Google program to develop fast wireless 10W chargers that are “certified for use with Pixel 3.” They cited Belkin specifically, who will be coming out with a Google-approved Qi charger that can charge the phones at full speed. Other wireless chargers will be stuck at charging at the industry standard Qi 5W.
