Weird. I followed Sliver and went to best buy. Got an unlocked Pro in black.

But still try to get a charger.

Mind you, I have a OnePlus 30W charger that I assume will work? Not sure tbh.

Did you find the 30W charger anywhere?

No, haven't even looked, though. If you find one, please post.

I kept getting errors when trying to add to the cart on Best Buy's site. Managed to get through on the Google store and place an order for the phone I wanted plus a charger. This was crazy though. I spent well over 2 hours trying to buy the damn thing.

We've been trying to get one for my partner since it opened on the Google store. I've probably tried every possible permutation for the pixel 6 and they keep getting removed from basket after a million errors. What a joke.

Looking at the charger specifications:

Output
PD 20V⎓1.5A, 15V⎓2A, 5V/9V⎓3A; PPS 21V⎓1.5A. 11V⎓3A

https://store.google.com/ca/product/...arger?hl=en-GB

It might be compatible with many 30+W USB-C chargers, like ones for laptops as well as the 25/45W Samsung phone chargers.

Dammit. I tried to do the same but the Pro sold out again.

Have any experience with best buy preorders? Generally good?

Dang, we went through thick and thin together today and now I feel like I've left you for dead.

No experience with Best Buy preorders, sorry.

After yesterday mornings google store disaster I just said #### it. But today all colours of the pro are (were?) in stock. Snagged one

I've been using the pixel 2 since it came out

What's this about a 30w charger? Should I have ordered one, will any old usb-c cord not work?

You just need it for the fastest charging rate; the old phone chargers will still charge at the more typical ~15W rate. But from what I've read, the Pixel 6 uses the widespread USB-C Power Delivery standard for that 30W charging rate, so almost any 30+W USB-C charger should give you the faster charging rate.

What does Google normally do for Black Friday? Offer a deal on accessories?

Ah, thanks. Fast charging isn't really a concern for me. But I reserve the right to change my mind, then bitch and complain at a later date

I bought the brick, but it may be a waste of $30 for me. Fast charging isn't something I've ever really needed. I wirelessly charge overnight and will continue to just do that.
