Best budget chargers for Pixel 6a in India

Google just introduced the Pixel 6a smartphones in India, where Android fans are responding well. But now I'm going to talk about some affordable charger solutions for the Pixel 6A that are worth considering in the Indian market, given the outrageous cost of genuine Google Pixel chargers (due to customs tariffs) and their scarcity.

The long-lasting hardware and regular Android updates in Pixel phones make them a good value. The phone comes with a USB-C type cable in the India region out of the box, but no charger. Although Pixel phone chargers are offered on Flipkart, their typical price range is between 2000 and 4000 INR, making them highly pricey.

Additionally, the availability of Pixel phone chargers will soon run out. Notably, neither Google nor Flipkart offer a pre-order option for the Pixel phone charger, which makes it more difficult to find the right one.

Therefore, chargers made by well-known and unknown vendors that might not be BIS certified are being purchased by Pixel phone owners in India. Let's talk about several alternatives to the Google Pixel 6A chargers that are priced under 1500 INR in India in this article.

Note that none of the chargers below are associated with any marketing and are all based on my personal research. Instead of spending more than 1500 INR on chargers and adapters that must have a minimum output of 18W, I truly believe in offering the finest alternatives.

Budget friendly charger options for Pixel 6a in India

The Pixel A series consists of affordable smartphones with some trimmed down features. The maximum charging capacity for Pixel 6a is 18W wired. Therefore, let's focus on chargers which will support 18W capacity.

Verdict for best budget friendly Pixel 6a chargers

Considering that it supports USB PD 3.0 PPS like the original Google Pixel charger, the Samsung 25W travel adapter is a great pick. Anker's charger is a bit costlier due to the customs duties but a worthy option like Samsung.

Croma chargers claim to be made in India, and it's easy to claim a warranty when a Croma store is available in your city or town.

Boat charger is manufactured in China, and BIS certification is not known to us. Therefore, it is a calculative risk.
