Q:

Nexus 6P adapter confusion

I just received a new Google Nexus 6P, and the included power adapter is something I have never seen. It has diagonal pins, so I am unable to plug into any outlets (I am in the US). Is this some kind of international adapter? Or am I missing something obvious?

Thank you.

A:

Adapters vary across the globe, and there is a World Standard body to differentiate them. You were shipped the incorrect one.
This is a Type "I" adapter, mainly used in SE Asia, comes in styles with 2 (yours) or 3 pins.
This style is used in Australia, New Zealand, China & Argentina.
See here for the different types of adapters.
