Best Accessories to Buy After Unwrapping Your New Android Phone 2022

PopSockets are part fidget toy, part phone grip, and part pop culture phenomena. If your new phone is larger and harder to use one-handed, you'll want a PopGrip on the back to easily reach the top of the screen. There are even licensed designs like Baby Yoda!

18W chargers don't get much smaller than this, and for topping off my phones, power banks, or headphones in a hurry, the Aukey PA-Y18 really is the best around. I carry this charger in my front pants pocket when I don't haul around a power bank, and it'll fit into crowded outlets easily.

Aukey's cables hold up over the long haul, and they come with a nice leather cable organizer that won't wear out like velcro straps do. This two-pack allows you to leave one at home while the other lives in your purse or backpack.

Samsung managed to pack in multi-day battery life, wireless payments, and great fitness features like automatic workout and heart-rate tracking into a lithe casing that you'll actually want to wear on your wrist. There are two sizes and three color options to choose from.

These are hybrid Bluetooth headphones, which reduce ambient noise up to 90% thanks to four active noise-canceling mics. They have 100% stronger bass using Anker's BassUp technology and 40-hour playtime on a single charge.

The Galaxy Buds Live deliver fantastic sound and active noise canceling in a sleek, bean-shaped design. They're built to last, with 8 hours of internal battery life and up to 29 hours using the charging case, and the Mystic Bronze and Mystic Red look divine.

Available in a dozen colors, this prehistoric phone stand can prop up your new phone while working in the office, eating dinner in the kitchen, or anywhere else. Plinrise also sells stands in other fun animal shapes like puppies, kitties, birdies, and the ever ferocious T-Rex!

No matter what Qi-compatible Android phone you have, this Qi charging pad should charge it at its top wireless speed, including the Pixel 5 with its somewhat picky tastes in Qi fast chargers.

This perfectly pocketable power bank can charge most phones from empty to full twice. RAVPower just upgraded this model to support 20W Power Delivery charging so that your iPhone 12-wielding wife can charge at top speed, too.

Like the Anker PowerWave 15, this is one of the few car chargers out there to wirelessly fast charge the Pixel 4 as well as it charges every other Qi-enabled phone. I prefer the air vent mounting system because AC keeps things cool, but a dash mount is also available.

Magnetic mounts are some of the smallest, easiest-to-transfer mounts on the market and they're perfect for frequent fliers to use in their rental cars. If your phone doesn't have Qi charging — magnetic plates interrupt Qi charging — grab this mount and slap it on.

This dual-port car charge offers up a Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 port for your older phones that don't support Power Delivery, and a 30W PD port for everything else. 30W is more than most phones need, and it'll even charge Chromebooks and Macbooks, though slowly.
