Google Pixel 8 Seen on WPC’s Site with 12W Qi Wireless Charging

The Pixel 8, like many other smartphones that support Qi wireless charging, has successfully completed the certification process of the Wireless Power Consortium. However, the listing on the website does not provide any insight into the design as it mistakenly features an image of the Google Pixel 6. Nevertheless, the model number GKWS6 corresponds to the Pixel 8.

Interestingly, last year’s Pixel 7 series was listed on the WPC website a week after its release, which suggests that the early appearance of the Pixel 8 could indicate an earlier release date. Regardless, it is worth noting that the Qi charging capability of the Pixel 8 remains at 12W, debunking rumors and speculations regarding support for the newer Qi2 standard that was announced in January of this year.
