Google introduced 4 new Pixel 9 smartphones about two weeks in the past – Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Professional, Pixel 9 Professional XL, and Pixel 9 Professional Fold. The non-folding Pixels could be charged wirelessly with Google’s Pixel Stand 1 and Pixel Stand 2, however the Pixel 9 Professional Fold can’t.
Google says it’s as a result of the “place of the charging coil for Pixel 9 Professional Fold isn’t completely centered in comparison with earlier Pixel telephones,” and that “would possibly make it troublesome so that you can cost your cellphone wirelessly.”
Nevertheless, Google mentioned the Pixel 9 Professional Fold “helps many different wi-fi chargers” and “while you use one other wi-fi charger, regulate the place of your cellphone to get it to cost.” The model additionally mentioned, “To substantiate if it is aligned accurately, test the charging indicator in your cellphone.”
Google shared the Pixl 9 Professional Fold’s diagram (see under) to point out the place of the charging coil.
With the unique Pixel Stand, the Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Professional, and Pixel 9 Professional could be charged wirelessly as much as 10W. Nevertheless, with the Pixel Stand 2, the vanilla Pixel 9 goes as much as 15W wirelessly, whereas the Professional and Professional XL go as much as 21W and 23W, respectively.
With no assist for Pixel Stand 1 and Stand 2, the Google Pixel 9 Professional Fold can solely be charged at as much as 7.5W with different wi-fi chargers. The shortage of assist for the Pixel Stand is a bummer for the reason that Google Pixel 9 Professional Fold is the costliest smartphone within the lineup.
