Since I just ordered a Pixel 7 I needed a 30W charger and this was suggested with my Spigen tough armor which is the only case I'll use on my phones as I drop them frequently. This features GAN II, Power Delivery V3, a foldable plug, and a 2 year warranty from Spigen.

It doesn't have a countdown on the page (not sure if that's good or bad), It's a little cheaper, a little larger (1.81x1.73x1.22 in vs 1.12 × 1.12 × 1.39 ), is gan II vs gan I, and doesn't advertise support for PIQ 3.0 (an anker specific thing). I actually bought one of each as I needed a slightly smaller one for the bathroom but they'll perform identically in my household, there *might* be a case when PIQ 3 gives better high speed charging, but it's not under galaxy, pixel, or apple uses so for me the only difference is size and gan 2 vs gan 1, I'm a data geek so I'll eventually log if there's any difference between power usage and charging speeds between them.

It's a fine deal, but to take advantage of the fast charging capability built into your Pixel 7, you should look for one that supports PPS.

This one is a nice option. It'll provide the max charge to your Pixel 7 through the top port and has a 2nd port that can charge another device at 10W at the same time.

Or for another quality brand, the Anker 30W Nano 3 [amazon.com] supports PPS and is a steal at $15.99.

From the Amazon page emphasis mine:
"USB-C PD 30W Fast Charger: Fastest Possible Charging Speed for iPad, iPhone and more
30W Max Charging for iPhone 14 series / iPhone 13 series / iPad Pro / iPad Air / Macbook Air / Nintendo Switch and more
18W Max Charging for iPhone 12 / iPhone 12 Pro / iPhone 12 Pro Max / iPhone 12 mini / MagSafe Magnetic Wireless Charger / MagSafe Duo
Power Delivery Fast Charging for Galaxy S22 / S22 Ultra / S22 Plus / S21 / S21 Ultra / S21 Plus / S20 / S20 Ultra / S20 Plus / Note 20 / S20 FE / S10 / S9 / Note 20 / 10
**Fast Charging for Google Pixel 7 / 7 Pro / 6 Pro / 6 / 5a / 5 / 4 / 4xl and more**"

Now, they might be lying, but on goggle's own 30W charger it says "Output
PD 20V⎓1.5A, 15V⎓2A, 5V/9V⎓3A; PPS 21V⎓1.5A. 11V⎓3A"(source:https://store.google.com/product/...r?hl=en-US) which implies PD on this charger would be sufficient for either the seven or the seven pro to hit the max as the 7 maxes at 20W and the 7P at 23W. But really you never know maybe Spigen is lying. Like I said I'm buying both charges, if this one does not do what it claims that is sufficient reason to return it to Amazon in the 30 day window at Amazon's expense🤷


Edit: I've now had both chargers for a couple days, they both are faster (and cooler) than the Google 18W charger in early tests across the board, the gen 2 Spigen is in fact cooler than the gen 1 Anker (which presumably is why there is a Gen 2 anker version available), and honestly there's not a noticeable speed difference between Anker and Spigen (both average in the 38XXmawhen charging with screen off as measured by accubatery on my P7) so I think PPS is not in fact required to get full speed charging on the base pixel 7 which makes sense when you look at the Google 30 Watt power spec on their website. Definitely have no issues recommending either charger with the pixel 7 ♥️
