General How charging works on Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro

By sheer chance, I decided to give the Google Play Store a look a few hrs ago & the latest model of the QI charging dock finally went into pre-order.
Overpriced, you bet, but, I ordered one. I have yet to charge my Pixel 6 Pro w/nothing but a wireless dock (Samsung's latest) & it's sloooooow.
Hopefully, Google's dock will improve upon that.

I don't get all the worries about charging. I use a generic qi pad I bought several years ago. Just set the phone on it before bed and its 100% by morning, and has enough juice to run for 3 days easy.

Really what more can you possibly need? Oh my god it dropped to 99% must charge right this second!!!!
Everyone's needs are different. I prefer to baby my battery so I only charge to 75%, and rarely let it go below 25%, and I have never quick charged any phone. I still get 24 hours in that charging range.

Some other people are on the go, go, go so the want all the juice they can get. Then there are those between.

Me neither, whack it on charge and either take it off when its been at 100% for a bit and I've noticed or when i wake up.

Lithium cells have charge circuity that prevent over and under charging so 100% and 0% are never that anyway.

I've noticed at times that the phone is only charging at like 5-6 watts, even at something like 30-40% battery.
I'm not sure what causes that, but the charging watts fluctuates a lot.

For me it charges fast until it reaches 80%. It then trickle charge from there. I seem to be a minority in liking this charging method as I'd like to keep battery healthy rather using super ultra fast charging.

So, Googleeeee is saying there's no need or way to improve it...😳
@galaxys

What I'm reading is a long-winded explanation saying that they aren't going to change the way the phone charges, and the excuse is..."extend battery life".

When is the anticipated delivery date for you? Mine says around mid December, between the 18th and 20th. If they send it through FedEx, more than likely you can add 1 week to that.

in 1 way, i'm surprised they want to try to extend battery life. most people switch phones already every 1-2 years. why not kill the battery earlier and force pple to buy another phone to upgrade? more money for them

this is partially a joke, partially not
I'm ok with the charging model. I've little interest in wireless charging due to the relative inefficiency: although I see the convenience argument, it doesn't provide enough benefit (last used it on the N5, which I sold within a month or so after purchase).
