Considering these are the first Pixels to have wireless charging, it's crucial to get the best charging pad. Fast charging speeds are only allowed on explicitly supported models in order to make the most out of wireless charging. If you don't mind stepping down to 5W, there are lots of other options that will work just as well.

The universal wireless charging standard is not supported by the Pixel 3 and 3XL. Unless it's an official Google-approved one, you won't max out at 5W speeds.

If you want the full 10W fast wireless charging goodness with the best experience possible, we recommend splurging for the GOOGLE POLE STAND. It gets you that top speed, but it also gives you some unique features when it's docked, such as having the display showcase warm colors before your alarm goes off to help you wake up more peacefully.

The stand isn't cheap. Some owners prefer a charging pad over an actual stand. The PowerWave Alloy is one of the best wireless charging pads on the market as it provides up to 15W of power and is compatible with all phones. You need to make sure you use your own AC adapter if you want to use the Power Wave Alloy, as it doesn't come with one in the box.
