Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL Ship with 18W PD Power Adapters and Support up to 27W Charging from Compliant Chargers

When USB Type-C was announced, we saw Google jump on board by starting to use them in the new hardware devices the company had been working on. USB Type-C is a huge step up from what most people were used to and it brought a lot of technical changes to the specification. One of the features that Google really embraced with new USB advancements beyond the new port is USB Power Delivery which enables open and non-proprietary fast charging capabilities for various devices. USB Power Delivery is also included in the Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL with an 18W power adapter but it can charge at up to 27 watts from a compliant Power Delivery charger.

So just like last year, Google is going all in on USB Power Delivery with their two new flagship smartphones. These even carries over to the Pixelbook laptop as well which also comes with a USB Power Deliver compliant charger and it's one that you can also charge your new Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL with, as well. As a whole, Google is continuing their goal of creating a cleaner charging ecosystem that makes things easier for the customer.

Also, like last year Google is shipping their new Pixel 2 phones with an 18W USB Power Deliver compliant charger. This is the wattage we saw with the original Pixel and Pixel XL as well. The company is shipping a reasonably fast wall charger with the smartphone, but you can invest in other suitable chargers that should be just as good, if not better. And thanks to the Made for Google certification program, it should be even easier for customers to find the right charger they want.

In the same Google+ post that Mr. Leung confirmed this information in, he also spoke about the Android 8.0 Oreo software for both the Pixel and Pixel XL as well as the Pixel 2 and the Pixel 2 XL. All of these devices now implement Type-C and PD support using the new Type-C Port Manager that is found in the Linux kernel.

Airtel Payments Bank Now Comes with UPI Integration for Offline & Online Payments

Earlier this year, Airtel has debuted the banking sector by launching its own payments bank. The Airtel payments bank is also the first bank to go live under this new category. Now, it also comes integrated with UPI (Unified Payment Interface), becoming the first payments bank to do so. With this integration, all the 20 million bank customers can create their own personalized UPI handles on the My Airtel app. With many digital payment platforms, the Government of India's Digital India mission looks more achievable than ever.

Using the My Airtel app, all the users with UPI handles can make instant transactions or payments in both offline and online sectors. On the other hand, the Airtel payments bank users can also use the BHIM app for making UPI-based payments. Unlike any other payments bank in India, Airtel payments bank also offers a 7.25% interest on the money added to their accounts. With the UPI, the users can also transfer to any bank account in India for zero charges.

The user can use their UPI ID instead of their personal details like bank account number or mobile number for transactions. Unlike the regular NEFT transactions, the UPI-based transactions are instant and also works 24×7. While the regular online bank transactions require minimum 30 minutes to add a new payee, the UPI-based transactions can be completed by entering the UPI handle or the mobile number. In the My Airtel app, the user can add more than one bank account under the single UPI ID for hassle-free transactions.

For businesses, there is no need of investing in a POS machine. Instead, they can use their own smartphone and most of the banks are offering the business services for free of cost up to a certain limit. With the easy-to-use and more secure process, the UPI-based payments should see a huge increase in transaction volume compared to e-wallet apps.
