Possible first look at Google’s ‘Pixel Stand’ charging accessory for Pixel 3/XL revealed

We already know pretty much all there is to know about Google’s upcoming Pixel 3 smartphones , but there’s still a lot to learn about what else the company is bringing to itsOctober 9th event. We’ve been keeping an eye on a device known as the “Pixel Stand” for a while, and in a fresh teardown, we’ve discovered a possible first look at the product.

The best gifts for Android users

We’ll be diving further into the latest version of the Google app, v8.22, in an upcomingAPK Insight post. One thing we managed to quickly spot in this teardown was a first look at the Pixel Stand. A brief animation within the app which is currently hidden from consumer view shows off a phone on a dock going through a slideshow of pictures.

Obviously, this first brief look at the product doesn’t show an exact representation of the product or Google’s phone, but it gives us a few details. For one, this dock will likely work while the phone is in portrait orientation. This lines up with screenshots that have come out previously showing the Assistant interface for when the phone is using this accessory. The animation also hints that Google will include some sort of slideshow function, likely similar to the Google Photos “Photo Frame” functionality onsmart displays.

Google is set to unveil its Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones on October 9th at an NYC-based event . It’s expected that the Pixel Stand accessory will work with both devices.
