Google Pixel 11 adds ‘Extreme Charging Mode’ to unlock faster wired & wireless charging
While charging on the Pixel 11 series still isn’t super fast, Google has made some upgrades this year, including the addition of a new “Extreme Charging Mode” that unlocks a bit of extra wired charging speed.
Google's latest Pixel 11 series smartphone adds a new "Extreme Charging Mode" to boost both wired and wireless charging speeds. This feature is designed to provide an "ultra-fast boost" when extra power is needed most. While the Pixel 11 series' wired charging still tops out at around 30-45W, "Extreme Charging Mode" can push the charge up to 75% within 30 minutes for the Pro XL model.
For the other models, it provides 55%, 50%, and 50% charge, respectively. The new wireless charging support is even more impressive, with Qi2 25W speeds, a significant upgrade from last year's 15W. To activate this mode, users just need to go to Settings or enable it via a Quick Settings tile. The mode will keep charging at its fastest pace until the phone is fully charged, and it works with both wired and wireless charging methods.
However, the feature is only available on the Pixel 11 series and won't likely be extended to older models.
