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 “position of the charging coil for Pixel 9 Pro Fold isn’t perfectly centered compared to previous Pixel phones,” and that “might make it difficult for you to charge your phone wirelessly.”
Nevertheless, Google stated the Pixel 9 Professional Fold “supports many other wireless chargers” and “when you use another wireless charger, adjust the position of your phone to get it to charge.” The model additionally stated, “To confirm if it’s aligned correctly, check the charging indicator on your phone.”
Google shared the Pixl 9 Professional Fold’s diagram (see beneath) to indicate 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 most costly smartphone within the lineup.
