  • Which smartphones are the best for watching video? Look for a device with a high-quality screen. The Samsung Galaxy Note 9, the Pixel 3 XL, the OnePlus 6, and the HTC Mate 20 Pro are all recommended by YouTube.
  • What are the best digital devices for reading? If you love ebooks, try the Kindle Oasis or Kobo Clara e-readers. They have e-ink displays that are easier on the eyes than glossy touchscreens. They also provide better battery life.
  • What is a universal device stand? It’s an accessory that can support any mobile device. GoDonut is one of the best we have encountered.

Smartphones and tablets are designed to be handheld. Most of the time, this causes no problems. But just occasionally, you might want to use your device without holding it — when you’re watching a movie or following a digital recipe in the kitchen, perhaps.

If you regularly find yourself building makeshift supports for your $1,000 device, it might be worth investing in GoDonut. This universal mobile device stand is small enough to fit in your pocket, yet sturdy enough to support even large tablets.

What is the best universal device stand?

Many supports claim to be universal. But GoDonut is one of the few that can actually back up the claims. It might be small, but this device stand is packed with useful features.

For starters, GoDonut can support pretty much any smartphone, tablet, or ereader. The circular design includes grooves on either side, into which you can place your device. One keeps your device upright; the other supports your device at a more laid back angle.

You can use GoDont with a variety of devices in both landscape and portrait mode

GoDonut can handle portrait or landscape mode, and the stand is weighted to ensure that taller devices won’t topple over. With the optional base, GoDonut can also swivel freely through 360 degrees.

Just as importantly, this stand is truly pocket size. GoDonut measures just one inch tall and four inches wide, with no moving parts or jagged edges to get snagged.
