Full Charging Test

Since we do not have a Google 30W charger, we choose a Google 65W charger to test it.
![5000mAh Battery & 23W Charging | Charging Review of Google Pixel 7 Pro-Chargerlab](https://www.chargerlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2023071701283230.png)
It supports PD protocol of 20V 3.25A and PPS protocol of 3.3-21V 3.25A.
![5000mAh Battery & 23W Charging | Charging Review of Google Pixel 7 Pro-Chargerlab](https://www.chargerlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2023071701283243.png)
The peak power is about 23W.
![5000mAh Battery & 23W Charging | Charging Review of Google Pixel 7 Pro-Chargerlab](https://www.chargerlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2023071701283428.png)
Even if we replace it with a 5A cable, the result is the same. Next, let's use the Google 65W charger to charge it fully. Here is the charging curve made by the PC software of POWER-Z.
![5000mAh Battery & 23W Charging | Charging Review of Google Pixel 7 Pro-Chargerlab](https://www.chargerlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2023071701283779.png)
The charging curve can be divided into five parts.
The charging power fluctuates with current, while voltage is maintained at 9V, and the peak power is about 23W. After 18 mins, it gradually drops to 20W, 16W and 12W in turn. The final part begins at 1 hour and 3 mins, and the power slowly drops to almost zero. It takes 2 hours and 4 mins to be fully charged.

We also plot it into another curve. It only takes half an hour to reach 50%, same as Apple's iPhone, and it needs an hour to reach 80%. The remaining 20% takes more than an hour to fill up.
Temperature Test
When testing the full charging curve, we put the charger into a 25°C (77℉) thermotank and got its surface temperature.

After 5 minutes of charging, the maximum temperature on the front is 32.6°C (90.68°F).

And 33.1°C (91.58°F) on the back.

After 15 minutes of charging, the maximum temperature on the front is 35.5°C (95.9°F).
![5000mAh Battery & 23W Charging | Charging Review of Google Pixel 7 Pro-Chargerlab](https://www.chargerlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/2023071701284972.png)
And 37.2°C (98.96°F) on the back.

According to the charging curve we just mentioned, the phone is charged at about 23W from 0 to 15 mins.
But the maximum temperature is the same as your body temperature, so it's just warm, not hot.
Compared to some high-power charging phones, the Google Pixel 7 Pro charges slower, but also cooler.
Summary of ChargerLAB
In conclusion, the Google Pixel 7 Pro is equipped with a large 5000mAh battery. While it does not come with a charger, it does include a charging cable, similar to current offerings from Apple and Samsung. Its charging performance is also very similar to iPhone and Samsung phones. It can be charged with any PD charger and an oridnary USB-C cable, but the peak power won't exceed 23W, bringing lower surface temperature. So, just got a 20 or 30W PD charger if you don't have one.
