This Reddit user claims the included charging cable with the 4A is limited to 2.0 speeds.

Same for the Pixel 6A. Google charging cables are all 2.0.

My Pixel 1 came with a blue USB 3.0 cable, which handles 5Gbps just fine.

We are specifically talking about USB-PD fast charging cables which the Pixel 1 does not support.

Edit: The above sentence is incorrect, I misread a source. The original Pixel shipped with a USB-A to USB-C cable that supported 3.0 speeds and a USB-C to USB-C cable that supported 2.0 speeds. Since the Pixel 2 they only ship with USB-C to USB-C cables that support 2.0 speeds.

That's hilarious, so the Pixel 2 not only dropped the 2.5mm port, it also dropped the USB3 cable.

One could speculate that the moment Google knew their phone was a success, they stopped caring about open standards.

It supported 18w of USB PD. Is there some further spec?
