Does this mean Google might readd Qi to their phones? They took it out a couple years ago saying that usb-c would be more convenient due to it being doublesided and fast charging.

With quick charge 3.0, it really is worth it to plug it in vs in comparison trickle charging via Qi.

Also believe the aluminum body was a factor to remove it from pixel

If speed is the only consideration. I used to love wireless charging at night, because when I was done reading and sleepy, I just had to set down the phone, rather than plug it in. Now I hope I remember to charge it before going to bed, or first thing in the morning if I have time.
True, but then I have a charger in car, in bag, at desk.

I can plug it in for 15 mins anywhere and have a good enough charge for rest of today.
