TL; DR
- The Android 12 code indicates a sequel to the Pixel Stand that may ship with the Pixel 6.
- It could even have an automatic fan system for faster wireless charging.
- The Pixel 6 could compete with OnePlus and others with fast wireless pads.
If you miss the Pixel Stand, don’t worry – it could be a comeback. The 9to5Google Team has discovered Android 12 Beta 2 code pointing to a new Made By Google wireless charger that could hit the market alongside the Pixel 6.
Nicknamed the “Luxuryliner” (the original Pixel booth was “Dreamliner”), the new charger appears to have cooling fans like those found on the OnePlus Warp Charge 50. You could even switch between “Auto” and “Auto”. “Quiet” and “Power Boost” modes that spin the fans up or down, suggesting that fast wireless charging is an option if you’re willing to put up with some noise.

The new Pixel Stand can even control the fan speed depending on apps or conditions. Fall asleep with bedtime mode on and the fans will turn down to help you fall asleep. Likewise, Google Recorder would silence fans to keep the noise from interrupting your voice recording.
The code isn’t a guarantee that a redesigned Pixel booth will appear when Google launches the Pixel 6 later this year. However, the introduction would make sense if the Pixel 6 rumors are true. Google’s next phone is believed to return to flagship specs after switching to the mid-range with the Pixel 5 last year. In this case, a fast wireless charger would make sense. Google could deliver charging performance that can compete with the best of the competition, even if it involves buying an expensive accessory.
