We all have phones, but we don’t always have the best phone accessories. Here are a few affordable and useful phone accessories that can make the start of your new year even better.

Some phone accessories are as follows:

A Phone Stand

A mobile phone may not be the biggest screen in your house, but it is certainly the one you spend the most time looking at. The best way to view the screen for long periods is to avoid holding the phone in your hand. That’s why my favourite phone accessory is an affordable phone stand. A cheap phone stand is the key to this convenience.

I purchased several phone stands, and now they are scattered across different parts of our home. I use them all the time—whether it’s watching videos while folding clothes, checking a recipe while cooking, playing a game, or giving my hands a break while browsing the web. This stand is fantastic.

Some stands can also support tablets, which is especially useful for those who want to work with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse or use tablets for work while travelling.

USB-C Flash Drive​

Flash drives have always been useful. Over time, their storage capacity has increased while their prices have dropped. In today’s world, where things are getting more expensive, storing files on a small drive remains an affordable solution.

Older flash drives often don’t connect directly to phones, and carrying a hub everywhere can be inconvenient. The solution is a USB-C flash drive or at least one that is compatible with both types of USB ports. Moreover, as USB-C ports are becoming more common in laptops, getting a USB-C stick is a smart choice.

A USB-C Hub

Although you might not want to carry a USB-C hub everywhere, it is very useful to have at home. It not only connects your phone to flash drives but also supports some external hard drives or gaming controllers.

Our review of hubs like the EZQuest USB-C Multimedia 10-in-1 Hub can help you make a better choice.

You can connect to a TV or external monitor via an HDMI cable, as long as you have a hub or dock to act as an adapter. If you use a Samsung phone, you can try using Samsung DeX to experience using your phone as a PC.

Wireless charging pad

Wireless chargers are not a new technology, but they are still something new to many people. After all, although many phones used to come with wired chargers, and some still do, it was rare for a phone to come with a wireless charger. To try wireless charging, you have to buy special equipment.

If the special person you are shopping for already has a wireless charging pad, there’s no issue with having another one. Wireless chargers are easy and convenient to keep around the house. Place one on a desk or nightstand, another in the living room, and one in the kitchen. Wherever you tend to place your phone, just keep a charger there and let it charge.

Capacitive Stylus

I like Samsung phones, especially because of their S Pen, and there are many reasons why I enjoy using a stylus with my phone. Most phones don’t have such a great pen, but all phones work with a capacitive stylus. This is the type that has a foam nub at the end.

A capacitive stylus is not more precise than a finger, but it can be more comfortable for certain tasks. Using a stylus is also a way to keep your phone’s screen a little cleaner.

A Phone Sleeve(Phone Accessories)

Some people use their phones without a cover, but many people prefer to keep their phones in a case. However, there is also a middle option, and that is a phone sleeve.

When my phone is in use, it is without any protection, which means I can enjoy the full beauty and feel of my device. When I’m not using the phone, I slide it into a sleeve to protect it from scratches in my pocket or from getting bumped around in the car. The sleeve doesn’t protect it like a case, but it’s a good compromise between completely changing the phone’s look and leaving it unprotected.

Final Thoughts

These accessories may not be the most exciting gifts this year, but each one can prove useful over time. Months later, when the excitement of the more thrilling gifts has worn off, you’ll still be placing your phone on a stand to watch YouTube videos.
