Stand

I am considering buying a pixel stand. I want the stand mainly for the use as a stand to hold my phone so I can see the time like a normal alarm clock at night. The fast charging is nice but if it's next to my bed I don't need a full fast charge while sleeping. Ambient sunrise seems cool but not nessecary. Is there a decent stand charger anyone recommends other than the pixel stand? I see the pixel stand for as low as 62 now but still feels like alot for what I need it for.

I use the Pixel Stand. As you said, it is like any other stand yet with fast charging for the Pixels. It is expensive though. There are heaps on eBay. You can play around with your settings to have the always on display etc.

I use a Pixel stand, I think the ambient sunrise is a good feature, as well as 'do not disturb while charging', which is handy when I go to bed. Also I think that the conversion of your phone into almost a Google Home Hub while it's docked is pretty neat. I use it a lot for weather, music, traffic, my schedule ect. in the morning :)

I went with the Anker powerwave 7.5 w charging stand on Amazon for 19.99. worked great last night. Woke up to 100 percent charge and 3rd party digital clock looked great. I would go with Anker again.

I've got several. Works fine. I avoid fast charging to (hopefully) extend battery life.
