The ‘foot’ at the base of the stand is more refined than the bump at the base of the original. Thankfully you can choose what speeds the stand will charge from the screen, or more permanently in the settings – but we’ll get to that later – so you don’t ever need to hear the fan if you don’t want to or don’t need the faster charging. ![]() Beside the bed in the dead of night it was loud enough for my wife to start a hunt for “what’s that noise” on the first night it spun up. The fan is definitely noticeable, though not as much when using it on a desk in an office with a laptop fan and other background noise. The fan mitigates the heat generated by choosing the fastest charging options. The larger rear panel is for the active cooling housed inside the Pixel Stand 2, which is a fancy way of saying it has a fan inside. The rear panel extends slightly higher than the first Pixel Stand – likely due to a small increase in the size of Pixel phones in the intervening years. It’s a form factor I’ve enjoyed since grabbing a Tylt wireless charger for my desk quite a few years ago. Like the first gent, the new Pixel Stand 2 is again an upright wireless (Qi compatible) charger.
