I've got an iPhone pro max, I have to take the cover off and position it face up with the camera at the open end, it just fits like that and no more, so this is the maximum way to get a phone in :roll:

My Note 20 Ultra and now S23+ are both too big. Bought a cheap used Pixel 5 for the bike.

Try removing the USB receptacle, mind charges with Bluetooth. This should give you a little more room.

Hi All. Just got the R1250 RT and enjoying reading the various comments. Now looking forward to riding in Northern Italy and France.

I use a Samsun Z Fold & the phone compartment is slightly too small. Has anyone tried removing the USB port? This may enable me resolve the issue.

Many thanks.

Bluetooth does not charge anything.
