Pixel 10a taking almost 5–6 hours to charge — normal or defective?
I recently upgraded from a Pixel 6a to a Pixel 10a, and charging performance feels extremely poor.
Even during normal/light usage, the phone sometimes takes almost 5–6 hours to fully charge.
Current AccuBattery readings while charging:
~3.5W / ~922mA
Battery temp around 38°C
Estimated 3h+ to full even from 26% low battery
Using official charger + cable.
My older Pixel 6a charged noticeably better under similar conditions.
One extreme example: during hotspot usage , the phone barely gained 1% charge for hours
I wanted to ask other Pixel users:
Is this expected behavior on newer Pixels?
Are Pixel 10/10a devices throttling charging this aggressively?
Or does this sound like faulty cable/charger/USB port/hardware?
Would especially appreciate replies from Pixel 10/10a users or people in hot climates.
