Instead of questionable design choices for the hardware (like the unsightly camera hump, too-slick glass, and oddly-beveled edges), Google was opting for a classier look. Instead of placing it on its cradle so it could charge, I decided to use it and wait until my usual time (around 6PM -- I like to completely disconnect at the end of the day) to set it on the Pixel stand.
