Google Pixel Stand: everything you need to know

Google might release an accessory called Pixel Stand when it will announce the Pixel 3 smartphone lineup later this year, according to the code discovered in a beta version of the Google app. Support can allow an anchored Pixel phone to work the same way as smart screens powered by the Google Assistant, such as the recently launched Lenovo Smart Display.

However, the product is far from official and no image has been disclosed. showing the device, or have firm details about its features. The existence of Pixel Stand, up to here, comes from hidden references in a clean version of Google. The main function of the device can be a wireless charging station, but with additional features related to the wizard.

The code indicates that when the phone is connected, the Google Assistant will function normally, providing answers to questions and suggestions, and the following commands even when they are locked. It also adds the phone will give personalized help when it is docked on the Pixel stand. All this is provided provided that the dock is added as a trusted device on the phone, indicating that it can be connected via Bluetooth at any given time.

Lenovo's Smart Display adds a visual element to Google Home with two different screen sizes, but costs either $ 200 or $ 250, making it considerably more expensive than a standard Google Home or Google Home Mini. Depending on what Google charges for Pixel Stand, this can prove a convenient way for anyone who wants to see the tips and suggestions of the wizard after providing voice commands. While the screen will not be as big as the smart screen – which is either 8 inches or 10.1 inches – it might be ideal for office use, which is mostly we want a wireless charger.

The code in the Google app reveals that the company is definitely testing a Pixel Stand device, this is not an absolute proof that it will be released, or that it will retain this functionality even if it is. We expect the Pixel 3 lineup to be launched later this year, maybe around October, and we should know more then. At the same time, look for a new Pixel Watch.
