Since it was launched, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold remains a mobile phone with most pressing attention. Of course, it has well-laid features regarding design, camera, and software especial enhancements. Nonetheless, some unfortunate issues have hit the phone. Most people have developed a nagging feeling about charging with the pixel when it refuses to accept almost any charger.
Underlying Issues
An official charging brick seemed to work with the phone; otherwise, it just returns with a slow charge by most third-party chargers or fast charging adapters. Some slow charge the phone, and other of them seemingly do not charge at all.
In some instances, this has been characterized by a clear indication with the six chargers guided under a USB Power Delivery (PD) specification. Except for Google-endorsed or specifications-made chargers, there is always charging.
Pixel 10 Pro Fold: User Experiences
Most users have increased grumbling about experiences concerning the charging issues when using Anker and Belkin as well as Samsung chargers at reports from sub Reddit and X (formerly Twitter). Some say that, at times, their gadgets become a little hot or not charging at all.
No word has been uttered to any single person in Google about this; at the same time, analysts speculate that perhaps it is one sort of driver-level lockout that the company initiated to permit charging through some selected chargers for battery health.
Possible Reasons and The Technicalities
With G5 chipset-stirred Tensor, Pixel 10 Pro Fold gets blessed with the Smart Battery Optimization System, which assures the maintenance of both the voltage and current from the third-party chargers as a security measure for the battery health.
However, problems start occurring as every charger does not comply strictly under the Power Delivery specifications, using Google's own specifications. Unfortunately, the guys who use Quick Charge or Programmable Power Supply really have a hard time dealing with it.
Working Solutions and User Suggestions
The only absolutely safest way for owners of Pixel 10 Pro Fold is to use that official Google charger or maybe other PD-certified ones. Likely in some far-off fantasy future update, this problem will get solved.
One more thing you might want to disable is Adaptive Charging, which could pause charging to return later. You could turn it off by entering Settings -> About phone.
Stylish and powerful as it is, charging compatibility limitation becomes such a bad thorn in the flesh of most users at all times. Indeed, this requires an intervention from Google pretty soon to allow smooth charging for users again.
