With the 2nd generation Pixel Stand wireless charger, both the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro would get some interesting options. One is the Optimized mode, which will optimize charging and is recommended for most situation. Likely this manner will prioritize faster charging when battery levels are low, and volition taper off the charge speed if the bombardment is by a certain threshold.

The Max mode would, as the name suggests, charge the Pixel 6 as quickly as possible. The disclaimer reads that "Fan may be louder at times" during Max charging.

Given electric current rumors suggesting the Pixel 6 and Pixel six Pro will back up wireless charging of up to 23W, it makes sense that there would be a cooling fan to ensure components don't overheat. At present, will the fan be internal to the charger, or would it aim to absurd the telephone down likewise?
