Hello friends, I bought a new Pixel 2 XL behind a seller, the same sent an OEM charger sold at Amazon. Some users commend, and others speak poorly. I plan on paying $ 35 and buy the official charger directly from the Google store. I do not think of paying for an Aukey or Choetech at the moment. Despite being great chargers, compatible with PD 18w. Is this Type C Type C cable from Google that comes with the charger good? I visualized type C 3.1 cables with certification recommended by a Google engineer, plus the cable itself of the company do not know if it is good.

About the OEM loader that I have, it would be the one according to the link ..

The Google OEM charger is probably the best USB PD charger for this phone. It definitely supports the 9V profile needed to quick charge the P2XL. Don't get too excited, though. You'll never see anything close to 18W of charge. It's capped at ~10.5W at the phone, supposedly to eke out a little more longevity from the battery. I measured it myself with an inline USB-C power meter. Who knows if this is actually effective? OnePlus certainly doesn't seem to care about increasing current draw. They've charged at [email protected] since the OnePlus 3 and I haven't heard any reports of premature battery degradation yet.
