Thank you, you are correct. Yes, and yes. I just looked at my in-the-box charger, and it has a big "33" on it.

I did purchase another charger for use in another place. This has greater capabilities although I don't need them at this time.

68? I might have just got confused and made that up. Unjustified promotion of my phone by more than double!

If/when I get this, I'll miss the 68W charging of my moto. Half an hour on turbo cha and it is good enough for the rest of the day.

Haha.... The actual number may be different, but your impression of how fast it charges should be good. And in that case, the Pixel 7 may not disappoint you either, if Google's claim of "50% charging in 30 minutes" can be relied upon! The 20W charger rating may not allow you to claim it to be turbo charging, however! :-)

Charging speeds are average on Pixel devices. My Pixel 7 takes almost 1 hr 20 min for 30-100 charge with a 25w Samsung charger. 30-80 time is much better, around 45 min.

Initial charge is fast, till 50%, but progress after that is really slow. I usually keep the battery between 30-80% so can't comment on the 0-100 time.

I have already proved that my memory for the specs is rubbish

But my Moto I think is supposed to charge to 50% in half an hour and full in two hours. As it will give me two days on a full charge, that initial half hour is plenty for me if I face a charge and go out situation.

I don't think the pixel 7a will approach this. But I'm sure it will do. It is nice to have lots of battery capacity, but in all practical terms, I can always charge overnight, so 24 hours suffices.

I think that the fast initial charge followed by slow completion is because of battery chemistry?
