Compatible chargers for XZ? - USB Power Delivery & Quickcharge 3 with QNOVO - Chrome 60W Charger

Super excited as I just got a new XZ and one of my favorite features is the first-for-Sony USB C charging port. Though, I'm a bit confused by the charging options. My phone is charging super duper slowly, but it's staying cold; so I take it that means all the new charging features to extend battery life is in effect. I do have Battery Care enabled, despite having a consistently-inconsistent sleep schedule.

I have a Chrome 60W charger from my Pixel that seems to charge the phone pretty slowly. This is what it looks like and here's the Google Store page with all its details.

So a few questions…

• Is my phone ok? Should it be charging faster with the Chrome charger?
• Does the XZ support USB C Power Delivery? As specified by the Chrome 60W charger page
• What should I look for when buying a new USB C cable and AC adapter? Only QC3 support? Or Power Delivery adapters?

Thanks! Love my XZ.

Anker has chargers as well. How about cables? Are there any requirements to get QC3.0 to work?

I was looking at those. They have one that's QC3. I see no reason why their cables aren't compatible since they have all these fast charging options.

They are amazing and high quality. I cannot reccomend their chargers and batteries enough. I've been buying from them for years to myself and occasional gifts. I'm backpacking around the world so there's always some jerk who steals chargers/cables/batteries so I have to replenish often (curse them to eternity).

Thanks for finding out the XZ doesn't support USB-PD. That's what brought me here. Anyway, buy a QuickCharge device from Anker on Amazon. You won't regret it.
