Anker 313 Wireless Stand Review: A Desk Gift That Works?
A Qi-certified stand that holds a phone upright on the desk while it charges. The small upgrade nobody buys for themselves.
Yes, for a coworker whose phone is always on low battery. It charges upright, in portrait or landscape, and works with Qi phones from Apple and Samsung [1]. Know the catch: the wall adapter is not included [1].

Pros and cons
A charger that lives on the desk
Most people charge their phone with a cable that gets borrowed and lost. A stand keeps the phone charged and readable during the workday, with no plugging in.
Anker is the charging brand most people know, and this stand has one of the longest review histories in its category.
It also tidies a desk. One stand replaces a cable that trails across the keyboard, and the phone screen stays visible for messages and calendar alerts.
Upright in two directions
The listing says it delivers up to 10W for Samsung Galaxy phones and 7.5W for iPhones, and works with all Qi-certified devices [1].
The phone sits in portrait for messages and Face ID, or in landscape for video [1]. It charges through plastic, rubber or TPU cases up to 2.5 mm thick [1].
In the box are the stand, a 3 ft Micro-USB cable and an 18-month warranty [1].
The listing notes that it charges an iPhone 15 in roughly four hours [1]. That is fine on a desk all day, though slower than a wired fast charger.
Adapter, cable and speed
Anker says it needs a 9V / 2A adapter for best performance, and that adapter is not in the box [1]. Add one if your budget allows.
The cable is Micro-USB, an older connector [1]. Charging is also slower than newer MagSafe stands, and magnetic attachments or cards in the case can block it [1].
Making it work on day one
Add a compatible wall adapter, so the gift works the moment it is unwrapped.
From this guide, it pairs with the Moleskine notebook or the YETI lowball for a desk-themed gift.
Check whether they use an iPhone or Android if you can. Both work, but iPhone owners may prefer a MagSafe stand.
It is a gift that works for almost any role in the office, from the front desk to the engineering team.
FAQ
Does this Anker stand come with a wall adapter?
No. The box includes the stand and a 3 ft Micro-USB cable, but Anker says a 9V / 2A adapter is needed for best performance and it is not included [1]. Add an adapter to the gift so it charges at full speed. Most phone chargers from the last few years with a USB-A port at that rating will work [1]
Does this Anker stand work with iPhone?
Yes. It works with Qi-certified phones, including recent iPhones and Samsung Galaxy models, delivering up to 7.5W to iPhone [1]. It charges through most thin cases, up to 2.5 mm thick,, but not through metal plates or magnetic attachments. A thick wallet case may need to come off [1]
Can you use this Anker stand in landscape?
Yes. The listing says it charges in portrait for messaging and Face ID, or in landscape for watching videos [1]. That makes it handy for video calls at a desk, with the phone upright and charging the whole time. Many people keep it next to the monitor for that reason [1]
