Recommend a mount for heavy phones please

[heebeegeetee]

Hi all,

I've just bought a new phone, I haven't started using it yet but already I'm having doubts.

It's a Samsung S21 Ultra, and it's a right slab, with a 6.8 inch screen. I haven't weighed it but I can feel that it's heavier than my previous phone.

I use a Scosche mount in my car, attached to the dashboard, I prefer this over attaching to windscreen. I'm not worried too much about the magnets but I think the weight of my new phone will pull the mount off the dash.

Has anyone had this problem, can anyone recommend a good mount for a smartslab of a phone?

TIA.

Brodit - you buy two pieces, one for your phone and one for your car. Expensive but well worth it.

That looks interesting, I'll check that out, thanks.

An alternative I guess is this kind of thing, but I'm not sure I'm ready for landscape in the car.

Another alternative is to glue the phone mount to the dash, but also a bit radical.

Quadlock. I did a run over the mountain section of the IOM on my motorbike with a Pixel , 160mph with some wheelies etc and it was rock solid. Got one in my car too and it doesn't move at all.

The advantage of a windscreen sucker mount is you can position it so the bottom of the bracket is resting on the dash if the phone's very heavy. I have a basic Halfords wireless charging one and it copes fine with my wife's Chinese brick as well as my smaller S22.
