As we first reported in June, Google is working on a 2nd-generation Pixel Stand for the Pixel 6. The first-party wireless charging stand has now leaked, along with two other accessories for the upcoming flagship.
Compared to original introduced with the Pixel 3 in 2018, the new Pixel Stand (leaked by Evan Blass on Twitter this evening) is much larger with a curved rear but non-circular base. This design helps accommodate a fan system for higher-power charging, previously pegged at 23W.
Meanwhile, the new Pixel Stand UI starts by showing the day and date in the top-left corner. Media controls appear next with your grid of smart home Device controls following. At the very bottom are two shortcuts for “Performance mode” and “Quiet mode.”
Google looks to also be working on a new charging brick. The company communicated in August that a charger will not be included with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, following in the footsteps of other flagships. In theory, it could be included with the Pixel Stand. While it looks the same, it physically features an engraved Google logo.
Meanwhile, we get our first look at Google’s first-party case for the Pixel 6. It looks exactly like the one introduced for the Pixel 5a that touts a durable” dual-layer design. There’s a squishy, shock-absorbing exterior that’s translucent and a hard plastic interior.
