Nomad has unveiled its updated “Stand One” charging lineup, now featuring support for Qi2, catering to owners of the Pixel 10 and iPhone 17. This new 25W option also includes an additional charger for either Pixel Buds or AirPods, significantly enhancing convenience for users of these devices.
The Qi2 25W charging capability utilizes the latest Qi 2.2.1 standard update, which allows for faster charging speeds. Although the charging speed may decrease after an initial boost, it offers a substantial advantage for users needing a quick recharge. Both the latest iPhone 17 series and the iPhone 16 series—provided they are operating on iOS 26—are compatible with the new charging standard.
Enhanced Features and Design
The updated “Stand One” charger features a primary 25W charging pad on the front for smartphones, along with a secondary Qi charger on the rear specifically designed for earbud cases. The “Stand One Max” model enhances this offering by including an integrated charger for the Apple Watch while retaining the same charging speeds for phones and earbuds.
To fully utilize the capabilities of these chargers, Nomad indicates that a 40W adapter is necessary. While this adapter is not included with the purchase, Nomad provides options starting at $25, and any USB-C PD charger rated at 40W or higher will suffice.
The most significant development with this release is Nomad’s commitment to Android users, particularly those with the Pixel 10. The previous iteration of the “Stand One” was primarily designed for Apple’s MagSafe technology, offering charging speeds between 5W and 7.5W for Android devices. This update marks a substantial improvement, providing faster, more efficient charging for Android smartphones.
Pricing and Availability
The Qi2 25W “Stand One” charging stands are now available for purchase, with the 2-in-1 option priced at $119, the same cost as its predecessor, which did not feature the earbud charger. The 3-in-1 model that includes the Apple Watch charger is priced at $159.
As wireless charging technology continues to evolve, Nomad’s latest offering positions itself as an attractive choice for both iPhone and Android users seeking efficient and versatile charging solutions. With the launch of the Qi2 25W charging stand, Nomad opens new opportunities for enhanced mobile device management, streamlining the user experience for a diverse range of customers.
