With every Pixel series phone, Google has included 18W USB-C Power Adapter. The Pixel 5A also comes with the same but it will not be included in the upcoming phones. Earlier this month, Google confirmed the launch of Google Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro. The company revealed that the smartphones will come this fall and also shared some key specifications.
