So instead of revising an old thread.... I just got a Pixel 9a. The charger works fantastic with it. I was pleasantly surprised. It doesn't have to be dead center just in there. I have a phone cover that is supposed to work with with wireless and it does to a point. I sent one back from Amazon and ordered from a different company and it's the exact same one. Lol. But it works.

BTW - love the phone. I got $150 trade in since my 6a was having the battery recall and the phone was $50 off so new updated phone for $299.00
