Google Pixel 4, 4 XL supports 11W fast wireless charging

One feature Google didn't mention at its recent hardware event is something you might be happy to hear the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL supports: faster wireless charging. 9to5Google reports spotted the Wireless Power Consortium that the new Pixel flagships can support up to 11W Qi wireless charging. 

This improvement is a significant step up from the Pixel 3, which only supports 5W charging with most third-party wireless chargers. Now, if you don't have it yet, you don't need to buy a Pixel Stand to get faster wireless charging. You can search for other, possibly cheaper fast wireless charging pads to use with the Pixel 4 and 4 XL.
