After Google issued an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/may-2026-pixel-software-update-3663791\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">update in May<\/a> to address various charging issues affecting multiple devices, many, many Pixel users haven\u2019t noticed any improvement.

Perhaps it\u2019s a hardware blight? Or maybe it\u2019s just a case of frequency illusion? Either way, it appears that slow charging and overheating are the main bugbears of Pixel phones right now, and\u00a0we wanted to hear from our readers about their experience.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent poll, we asked if they\u2019re still battling with slow Pixel charging, and the results are telling.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_3g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"does your google pixel charge slowly especially after a recent update poll results\"  alt=\"does your google pixel charge slowly especially after a recent update poll results\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/does-your-google-pixel-charge-slowly-especially-after-a-recent-update-poll-results.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Andy Walker \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p>Over 60% of respondents are still experiencing charging issues, in fact, \u201cslower than ever\u201d charging, even after Google\u2019s numerous patches. That\u2019s three in every five Pixel owners who encounter these issues, suggesting how widespread the problem is.<\/p>\n<p>Three in every five respondents suggest that the slow Pixel charging problem is a big issue.<\/p>\n<p>The comments back up the numbers, too. Reader gallingtonnick writes:<\/p>\n<p>My pixel was overheating like mad around May (not sure what update number it was) once it updated a week or so later, it quit with the overheating but now it takes forever to charge. All of my chargers would give me the \u201cfast charging\u201d but now I dont receive those messages even with the same chargers. PIXEL 9 PRO.<\/p>\n<p>jr.jennings, who owns one of Google\u2019s lower-rung devices, notes a similar experience.<\/p>\n<p>Yes! I was confused for the last week or so as to why my charger no longer triggers Fast Charging on my Pixel 9A. It used to. I\u2019ve had to switch to a different charger. Glad to see it\u2019s not just me.<\/p>\n<p>Several other readers weighed in with their slow-charging experiences, too, and, more telling, they own various Pixel devices.<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone noticed a problem, though. 17% of respondents say their Pixel\u2019s charging is \u201cnot too fast, but not too slow,\u201d while 18.6% haven\u2019t noticed any issues with powering up their devices.<\/p>\n<p>Do you own a Pixel?
