Nomad is updating its signature “Stand One” lineup with Qi2 support, which means Pixel 10 and iPhone 17 owners have a new Qi2 25W option that includes a second charger for their Pixel Buds or AirPods.
Qi2 25W charging utilizes the latest Qi 2.2.1 standard update and, as the name implies, boosts speeds to 25W. While that speed tends to quickly taper off in our experience, it still provides a welcome jumpstart if your phone’s battery is low.
The latest iPhone 17 series supports Qi2 25W, as does the iPhone 16 series so long as your device is running iOS 26.
Now, Nomad is launching its first Qi2 25W device in an update to its “Stand One” charger lineup. The updated “Stand One” includes a single 25W charger on the front for your phone, and also now features a secondary Qi charger on the back side that’s designed for an earbud case.

Beyond that, the “Stand One Max” offers the same boosted charging speeds and earbud charger, but with an Apple Watch charger built-in as well.
Nomad says that you’ll need a 40W adapter to provide full power to both chargers, but that adapter is not included. Nomad offers 40W adapters from as low as $25, but any USB-C PD charger at 40W or above should do, and they’re easy to find online for cheap.
The biggest news with this new lineup, though, is that Nomad finally has a wireless charger that’s perfect for Android phones, and the Pixel 10 series in particular.
The older “Stand One” design was focused on MagSafe and, as such, only offered speeds of around 5W-7.5W on Pixel 10 devices and other Android phones with magnet rings or cases. This update quite literally opens the floodgates for Android users.
Why would you want this charger in the first place?
