Its a decent area, my Samsung Galaxy which is about 150mm can fit without any problem.

I have an S9+ and it fits and charges fine.

However. When using Android auto, and storing the phone in the wireless charging space, it is not ideal as the USB C termination that goes into the phone will put strain where strain shouldn't be put.

I made myself an ultra stubby right angle USB cable so my phone still fits in the wireless charging compartment while cabled for Android Auto.



I do not have a pic of the finished product, only this work in progress pic. I will take another picture when I get my car back hopefully shortly

I have the Samsung S9+ an it fits just fine but It won't fit with the phone in my otterbox so I have to take the phone out so I can charge it.

One thang I forgot to mention was, when I take it off the charger my phone is very warm. I don't know if it's just my phone but keep an I on your phones while charging them.

Oh, yes I am aware [MENTION=2027]spider55[/MENTION], I was replying to [MENTION=2228]Djltoronto[/MENTION] (should use quotes more often [;)]).

The otterbox is a massive case. Functional but massive, that coupled with the actual size of the phone, will make it nearly impossible to fit on most OEM wireless chargers.
