A USB-C Power Delivery (PD) charger with a USB-C to USB-C cable. It charges on a 20W USB-C PD charger at standard fast-charging speed. Its 27W charging needs a USB PD charger with PPS; WisdomUp’s chargers don’t list PPS, so they won’t reach that rate.

The Pixel 8 has a USB-C port.

How many times can a 10,000 mAh power bank charge the Pixel 8?

About 1.3–1.5 full charges. About 60–70% of a power bank’s rated capacity reaches the phone, and the Pixel 8 has a 4,575 mAh battery.

Does the Pixel 8 support wireless charging?

Yes, up to 12W (Qi (18W on Pixel Stand 2)). It has no built-in magnets, so magnetic chargers need a magnetic case.
