Google Pixel XL allows for slower charging, if a non USB-C adapter is used. From the support area at Google on the section concerning charging. See the suggestion #2 for your concern: >*Which power adapters and cables to use* > > 1. Pixel phones use USB-C with USB 2.0 power adapters and cables. > 2. To charge your Pixel phone with a USB-A power adapter, use a USB-C to USB-A cable. **This will charge your Pixel phone more slowly than USB-C**. > 3. Other Android cables and power adapters might not work with Pixel phones. > 4. Pixel phones can't charge wirelessly. >
