In fact it would make even less sense for Google to remove the wireless charging feature for the Pixel 7 series than to leave it in. Although brands do leave out wireless charging often, Google has added it in most of its phones over the last few years. Save for the A series devices like the 4a, 4a 5G, and 5a. And at the price Google charges for its Pixel flagships, not adding wireless charging seems like it would be a bad move. Having said that, price is not always the deciding factor as to if a feature like wireless charging gets added. ASUS for example did not add wireless charging to the ROG Phone 6 or ROG Phone 6 Pro. And those are expensive phones. ASUS simply didn’t see a need or desire from consumers to add it. And it said it would rather focus on other features to enhance the user experience. Like the 65W wired turbo charging.
Wireless charging on the Pixel 7 series will be slower than wired
This shouldn’t surprise anyone, but wireless charging on these new devices will be slower than plugging them in. Keep in mind that a blazing fast charge is not the intention of wireless charging anyway. It’s about convenience. About not having yet another cable to have to deal with stretching across your desk or nightstand. So while the wireless charging feature won’t be as quick, it will be easier to use. And chances are you’ll have less trouble slapping your phone down on a wireless charger in the dark than trying to find the USB-C port. Which almost always seems to magically disappear no matter how many times you feel out where it is before attempting to insert the USB-C cable. So, to sum things up, yes, both the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro have wireless charging. If you’re picking up either phone, enjoy not having to physically plug the phone in unless you want a quicker charge.
