How big is the Pixel 8 Pro battery?

The Pixel 8 Pro would have a 5,050mAh typical battery capacity with 30W wired charging and 23W Qi wireless charging.

Did it turn out to be true?

Partly right. Some of this was right and some of it was not. Kamila Wojciechowska reported it on Sep 25, 2023 in Android Authority. That was 9 days before Google Pixel 8 Pro was announced on Oct 4, 2023. The 5,050mAh typical battery and up-to-30W wired charging are correct. Pixel 8 Pro reaches up to 23W wirelessly with Pixel Stand (2nd gen), but Google specifies up to 12W with generic Qi-certified EPP chargers, so '23W Qi wireless charging' is imprecise.
