Google Store stops selling 2nd-gen Pixel Stand 

Must read

The 2nd-generation Pixel Stand is listed as “no longer available” across Google Stores around the world.

The search feature on the Google Store no longer brings up the Pixel Stand, while it’s not appearing in the Accessories grid. Visiting store.google.com/product/pixel_stand_2nd_gen sees the main “Add to cart” button grayed out, while a second redirects you to the homepage. 

It’s no longer for purchase in the US, Canada, Japan, and other Google Stores in Europe that we checked today.

It was still being sold after the launch of the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL, with the accessory available as of last Thursday. Meanwhile, Google listed the 2nd-gen Pixel Stand as delivering the top wireless charging rates for the Pixel 9 series. 

Device Chargings speed
Pixel 9 Pro XL 23W
Pixel 9 Pro 21W
Pixel 9 15W
Pixel 8a 7.5W
Pixel 8 Pro 23W
Pixel 8 18W
Pixel Fold 7.5W
Pixel 7a 7.5W
Pixel 7 Pro 23W
Pixel 7 20W
Pixel 6 Pro 23W
Pixel 6 21W
Pixel 3/3 XL, Pixel 4/4 XL, Pixel 5 10W
Other Qi-compatible devices 15W

However, it’s not officially compatible with the Pixel 9 Pro Fold due to the placement of the charging coil, though some people have managed to adjust the physical placement.

Google ending sales without a replacement is odd.

The $79 wireless charger was alongside the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro, but didn’t ship until December of 2021. It came with a 30W USB-C power adapter (PD 3.0 w/PPS) and 1.5m USB C-to-C cable, with software features like three charging modes to control the fan, Google Photos frame support, Google Assistant integration, Sunrise Alarm, and more.
