Google Pixel Stand review: Too many locks and not enough ease

Cases aside, the Pixel Stand is the first accessory that Google has made exclusively for Pixel phones. Last year's Pixel Buds worked with all Android phones, the Daydream View headset works with a number of Samsung, Moto, and LG phones, and even the lower-latency USB-C to 3.5mm adapter is compatible with any phone running Android Pi. The Pixel Stand isn't going to win any design awards. To be clear, the Pixel Stand will work with other Qi-enabled phones. With a standard Android phone, the Pixel Stand is basically an overpriced wireless charger. Set a Pixel 3 on it and it truly comes alive, with fast(er) charging and innovative Assistant integration.
