Last year, Google announced a 45W power adapter to go with its Pixel 9 series. While it’s nothing special, it’s still a decent product that’s worth recommending . This year, it appears Google is releasing something a bit more impressive.
In the final days before Google’s hardware event, retailers are already preparing for the launch, and some of them — like PC-Canada or TrueData IT — have (inadvertently) made their listings public.
A few of those listings reveal a “Google 67W Dual Port Power Adapter” in a “Snow” colorway. While it’s not rare to find a charger with a power rating like that these days, it’s good to have another option from a trustworthy company like Google.
