This will be my first usb type c device. I'm sure a lot of you are upgrading from the original pixel. Can you guys recommend cables and chargers that you have used that you liked? I'm sure there are a bunch of people in my situation it can help to stock up on this stuff before the phone comes. And yes I know there is a list of approved cables, etc.

I'd look at Anker or Aukey for chargers. They should have a couple PD-2 chargers. They also sell the required cables.

The Pixel 2 XL will come with cables and a charger in the box though.

what do you guys think about chinese usb type c cables? any experiences?
I would never get a cheap Chinese/no name version. From what I've read, if it doesn't have a 56ohm resistor, it has damaged phones.

You can also check on Amazon and read reviews from those who have purchased. Not worth saving a few bucks to potentially damage your $900+ phone.

Thanks! Do they have a EU compatible one?
I've never seen a EU version. I could be wrong. You can just the US version and get a plug converter.

DO not get any usb c cable/charger so many of them don't follow the standards
Only get one that has been tested
bad cables and charger in best case can charge slowly
in worst case can damage the phone or explode

follow https://plus.google.com/collection/s0Inv
and only use good cables
from the top of my head, the good ones are from
belkin - anker - CHOETECH - IOGEAR - Veckle
here some

As far as I can tell, Benson Leung finds issues with every Aukey product he reviews. I'm contemplating the BlitzWolf BW-S10, as I've had no issues with the BW-S5 or BW-CB3, and their reputation appears to be clean. The supplied cable is USB-C to USB-C, right?

I've edited the post. Thanks for catching that!
