Comiso Phone Stand with Bluetooth Speaker, X8

Key points

If you mainly need a holder for occasional viewing, a basic stand keeps things simple. The Comiso X8 adds a Bluetooth speaker, so it’s aimed at people who want to prop up a phone or tablet and hear videos, music, or calls without holding the device. Its angle adjusts for viewing, and the weighted base and non-slip pad are intended to help keep a device in place on a desk.

The speaker is rated at 5 W and uses Bluetooth 5.3. The listing also describes a built-in microphone for calls and 360-degree sound. From the way it is set up, the appeal is convenience: one accessory combines a viewing stand and wireless audio rather than asking you to arrange two separate items.

How to use it

Set the stand on a desk or other stable surface, place your device on the holder, and adjust the angle for the task. That could mean propping up a phone beside your keyboard for a video call, or positioning a tablet upright to watch a show while your hands are free. Pair a compatible Bluetooth device to use the speaker, a USB-C charging cable is included.

The stated supported size range is 4 to 12 inches, and the listing names iPhones, iPads, Samsung devices, Kindle, and Switch among examples. Keep in mind that a supported screen size alone doesn’t confirm how every device or case will sit in the holder. The product details also don’t give a battery-life figure, so they don’t establish how long it can play between charges.

Practical tips

For calls or viewing, angle the screen toward your usual seated position instead of leaving it flat on the desk. This can make a quick FaceTime call or a recipe video easier to follow without picking up the phone. The stand is described as foldable and portable, but no folded dimensions or weight are provided, so the listing doesn’t show exactly how much room it takes in a bag.

The 5 W speaker may suit everyday listening at a desk or nearby, while someone shopping primarily for room-filling audio may prefer to compare dedicated speakers instead. Likewise, this is more useful than a plain holder when you’ll actually use its audio, if you already have a separate speaker you like, the extra feature may matter less. It suits you if you want hands-free viewing and sound in one desk accessory. It might not be a great match if your main priority is detailed speaker specifications or a stated playback time.

Before you decide

Can it hold a tablet as well as a phone? The listing says it supports smartphones and tablets from 4 to 12 inches, including iPads and Kindle devices. It doesn’t specify case clearance.

Can you take calls through it? A microphone is listed, and the speaker is described as supporting calls over Bluetooth.

What comes in the box? The listed contents are the X8 phone stand with speaker, a USB-C charging cable, and an instruction manual.

Is it worth it?

This is worth considering if you want one adjustable desktop stand that also handles wireless audio, and you’ll use both functions. It offers a practical setup for watching a clip, following a video call, or listening while working at a desk. The trade-off is that the available details don’t state battery life, folded dimensions, or case fit. If those specifics determine your purchase, a simpler stand or a dedicated speaker with clearer specifications may be easier to assess.
