This Reddit user claims the included charging cable with the 4A is limited to 2.0 speeds. https://old.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/comments/14irr99/cable_recommendations_for_pixel_data_transfer_usb/jphqdki/ https://old.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/comments/14irr99/cable... Same for the Pixel 6A. Google charging cables are all 2.0. https://old.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/xm2fw5/why_does_pixel_use_usb_20 https://old.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/xm2fw5/why_doe...

My Pixel 1 came with a blue USB 3.0 cable, which handles 5Gbps just fine.

  We are specifically talking about USB-PD fast charging cables which the Pixel 1 does not support. Edit: The above sentence is incorrect, I misread a source. The original Pixel shipped with a USB-A to USB-C cable that supported 3.0 speeds and a USB-C to USB-C cable that supported 2.0 speeds. Since the Pixel 2 they only ship with USB-C to USB-C cables that support 2.0 speeds. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7158537 https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7158537

    It supported 18w of USB PD. Is there some further spec?

    That's hilarious, so the Pixel 2 not only dropped the 2.5mm port, it also dropped the USB3 cable. One could speculate that the moment Google knew their phone was a success, they stopped caring about open standards.
