Design and Features
Sharge’s new Pixel chargers feature a design inspired by Bauhaus. One side is equipped with a rotatable dot-matrix display that shows current charging info. It can also be dimmed, and there is an animation for turning the screen on and off.
Charging Specifications
The Pixel 140 charging plug comes with three USB-C ports that have “extra-wide” spacing, each capable of delivering up to 140W output. If two ports are used at the same time, the power distribution can be either 100W:30W or 67W:67W. When all three ports are active, the power distribution might look something like 67W:30W:30W or 45W:45W:30W. The Pixel 100 has three USB-C ports providing 100W each and one 18W USB-A port. Again, how power is shared depends on the devices connected.
Compatibility and Size
Both chargers are compatible with PD 3.1, QC 4.0, PPS, and other fast charging protocols. They are compact with folding pins; the larger 140W model measures 64 x 58 x 37.2 mm (2.5 x 2.3 x 1.5 inches) and weighs about 255 g (~0.56 lbs). Sharge claims this is partly due to the use of fifth-generation GaN technology.
