Does the Pixel come with USB A to USB C cable? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

There was nothing said about what's going to be included besides the headphone adapter but I'm curious if the newer model will have the USB A to USB C adapter like last year's model.

Why those cables specifically?

according to this site, they list the contents of the box as:
The smartphone.
USB-C charger.
USB-C to 3.5mm earphone adapter.
User guide.
Power adapter.
edit: likely a copy paste from the official google site... scroll down almost to the bottom of the screen look for "whats in the box"

also dont forget to checkout benson leung's reviews to see which cable/charger will charge your phone and not blow it up.. https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung
nathan k has a google spreadsheet.. check it out also

what you want in cables / charges / adapters that use usb c
is to be USB-IF Certified

in the market now there are not many options
and the anker were cheaper than belkin

USB-C to Micro USB Adapter question ?

Getting a 5X and was wondering if USB-C to Micro USB Adapters
are ok to use on my Car charger that is Micro USB
Getting tired of buying a new charger and cables all the time.
Thanks
Gary
I bought TechMate ones. According to Benson Leung (a google employee) they meet the usb type c standard. Below is a link to all of the units he tested. The TechMate one is near the bottom.

That's what I'm assuming. I used it on my old 2013 Moto X cable to flash TWRP without issue.

Looking for 6ft Type C to Type C True USB 3.1 w/ Quick Charge 3.0 cable

As the title suggests. I am looking for a 6ft TRUE C-to-C cable USB 3.1 (10Gb) that also support Quick Charge 3.0. I have the Black Squid 3.3ft, but I need a few cables longer than 3.3ft.
Please advice!

Benson Leung has been evaluating USB-C cables on Amazon for full compliance and leaving reviews. Any cable he's signed off on should work.

I have this one and it does not enable the "Quick Charging" feature on my phone when I plug it in, it just charges it. I had to buy a different cable for quick charging to appear. Just a heads up.

USB C Wall Charger, multiple USB C Ports

I have two Xps laptops, and we have now two pixel 2's at the house all USB C.
Most chargers are 1 USB c port with multiple regular USB ports, and the Aukey that has two USB c ports failed spec.
Anyone know of any wall charger with multiple USB C ports?
This one has 2 C and 4 A ports. It gets good reviews.
Didn't see any others with more than the 2.

So that link is for an item with two different skus, which are actually 2 different charges with most of the reviews for the OG fast charge w/o the USB C.
Here is a youtube review of the one with USB C.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_K2kc5fHTk
It basically fails to fast charge the phone in the regular usb port.
That being said what i am most afraid of is the USB C port always being on. Which is a problem, because with phones such as the pixel that now use the USB C port as a headphone jack, if the USB C port is always on, on the charger, and the pixel thinks it's a headphone connection port it can cause the phone to get damaged.
Being that the charger failed basic charging specs it claims, i doubt the charger is USB c spec. Thank you for the suggestion doh
I suggest avoiding this product doh

That's unfortunate. Ah the growing pains of being early adopters of USB-C. Still reminds me of the early days of HDMI. Lot of misinformation and improperly speced items. eventually it all smooths out.

Pixel 2 XL compatible USB-C to ethernet + charger port?

I see there may be a couple of USB-C ethernet adapters on Amazon... and at least 1 review seems to say the fancy Anker one with 3 micro-LEDs for status works. On sale at $16, I was about to jump, but realized it leaves me with no power. Has anyone tried one of these USB-C to ethernet + power + [maybe somethign else] break out boxes that isn't closing in on $100 and gotten it to work? Most seem to come with at least one other port such as HDMI, which would be interesting if it worked but ignorable at the right price if it didn't.
1 comment says this works: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Aluminum-1-Gigabit-Compatible-ChromeBook/dp/B00ZZ6NW5E
https://www.amazon.com/LC-dolida-Adapter-Ethernet-Delivery-Charging/dp/B0794WTTLS .. if it works with the Pixel 2!... would be great to add charging. But somehow I doubt it works with the phone. Surely someone has tried this out there!
Thanks!
I do have an anker usb c hub with USB power delivery that works and gives me more usb c ports. Apart from that I also have a USB c to ethernet adapter from AliExpress and when I put that one in the anker one the phone does charge and have ethernet working

You should be able to use any cable with it, as the power bank will not support Warp charging. The OP cable requirement only applies to their chargers to get maximum speed.
