Phone stands keep phones visible on desks. Great for notifications, video calls, charging.

I tested 7 stands to find what's actually stable and useful.

Best Phone Stands

Best Overall: Lamicall Adjustable Phone Stand

What you get:

  • Adjustable angle
  • Aluminum build
  • Non-slip base
  • Works with cases
  • $10-12

Check price on Amazon

The catch: Not wireless charging compatible

Best with Wireless Charging: Anker PowerWave Stand

Two-in-one:

  • Charges + holds phone
  • 10W fast wireless
  • Adjustable angle

Check price on Amazon

The catch: $20-25

What Actually Matters

Adjustable angle

Flat stands don't work for FaceID or video calls

Weight/stability

Light stands tip over when you unplug cables

Case compatibility

Some stands don't fit thick cases

The Real Decision

Get Lamicall ($12) if:

  • Just need a stand
  • Don't need wireless charging
  • Best value

Check price on Amazon

Get Anker PowerWave ($22) if:

  • Want wireless charging
  • Desk charging station

Check price on Amazon

Bottom Line

Best stand: Lamicall ($12)

Best with charging: Anker PowerWave ($22)

Both work great. Charging version is worth $10 more.
