If you’re the owner of a large foldable phone like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5, or if you like to use your tablet for GPS navigation, the other phone mounts on this list likely won’t accommodate the dimensions of your device. Thankfully, the Samsung Wireless Car Charger is built to accommodate foldables and small tablets, which makes it the best option for owners of those devices who want to keep them close at hand in the car.
Samsung has included some special features for its smartphone mount, with the coolest addition being automatic clamps that open up when a phone is brought near and tighten when it’s placed inside the dock. The surface of the dock against which the back of the phone rests is also a 9W Qi wireless charging pad. Extracting your device is as simple as pressing a button on the side of the mount to unclamp the clamps.
The Samsung Wireless Car Charger can accommodate a regular-sized phone in portrait or landscape mode, as well as foldable or small tablets. Of course, as a Samsung product, it works best with a Samsung phone. It worked well with my Galaxy S23 Ultra, but I was also able to find people using it seamlessly with an iPhone.
The most disappointing thing about the Samsung Wireless Car Charger is that it only comes with an air vent mount, which, as mentioned earlier, is my least favorite attachment style. Thankfully, the vent clip has feet that extend outward to give extra support, which should lower the chances of your vent breaking. However, it also uses a standard ball and socket system, so you can use the dash or windshield mount from another product with it if you want.
