Charging frustration—missing power adapter and slow wireless charging—echoes video reviewers' concerns about incomplete accessories.
In their words
“I've been using the Google Pixel 10 for over 6 months and I love it. It's sleek, stylish, solid feeling, and has great functionality. The battery life is incredible and the camera is just as great as you would expect from a Pixel. My favorite new feature is the MagSafe functionality. It works great for mounting and charging (though the charging is a bit slower this way).”

“The Google Pixel 10 has beautiful sleek design. It comes in a compact box which is quite simple, but looks like good recyclable option. In the box there is charging cable which I think is the the standard now. It's sad that the charging adapter is not included anymore as standard, especially as I couldn't use some of the adapters I have at home with the phone.”
