Just to share to avoid using that charger. https://plus.google.com/102612254593917101378/posts/7dZr9ymzJeD I also got one at home, which I have never used, which was a good thing after read that review.

tl;dr: VERY BAD. Charger is Vbus HOT (instant fail). Cable out-of-spec (fails DCR). No IR drop compensation (sags voltage), so devices will charge slowly. Pretends to be a device when unplugged, causing the Pixel to backfeed current. The only good thing is the overcurrent behavior. Choetech needs to stop selling this.

Why bother with Expansys when u can get it directly from Google? Shop warranty vs manufacturer warranty.





Actually now Google Store UK also have stock. Can use the more established Borderlinx.

For Australia, I used AusFF. There is Parcl also.

i bought a few cable but none is able is charge rapidly.

i use my friend samsung cable usb a to usb c is able to charge rapidly.

Only type C to type C can properly fast charge Pixel with 5V 3A. USB type A to type C has max current of 2.4A, at most it can only charge around 1.8-2A. Use an app like ampere to look at the amps measurement than just relying on the "fast charge" phrase, cos it's useless.

Google Pixel accessories not easy to find so I think it is good that TheAnt is sharing his lobang with fellow Pixel users :)

Share sure, but not WTS. By posting his contact etc, that's the same as WTS. If everyone does this, might as well change this thread to be WTS thread. It's easy to find Pixel accessories if you look further than local shops. Lots of them in amazon.

It's ok people get troubled too easily. I mean first thing you will go if looking for pixel accessories is those sales thread right and not a pixel thread LOL. Anyway people here u can get from certain UK stores and they will deduct tax which is 20% off the price u see in Google store but u may or may not have to pay 7% GST when it comes here. But certainly beats paying 20 + 7 %

For those who are planning to get a Pixel and can wait till July, PM me. My brother is coming back from US. No need to pay shipping cost.

Initially, I thought of getting myself but decided to stick to my current Pixel.

lol I don't have anything to order to ask him to bring something for me.

Is your microphone totally down or intermittent?
