Belkin has announced two new products – the Boost Charge TrueFreedom Pro Wireless Charger and the Boost Charge UV Sanitizer. Belkin is known for its charging accessories including topnotch wireless charging solutions. The Boost Charge TrueFreedom Pro wireless charger deploys the Qi charging standard and offers full-surface charging which allows users to place up to two Qi-enabled devices anywhere on the charging pad and get 10W of power delivered to each device at the same time.
In terms of the build, the TrueFreedom Pro
packs 16 individual charging coils which intelligently provide consistent power
to devices anywhere on the pad. With this kind of design, there is no need to
perfectly align the devices to begin charging like is required in many other
wireless chargers. The charger also comes with two LED lights which display the
charging status. Further, there are silver chrome accents and a leather-like
finish on the exterior design.
Aside from the TrueFreedom Pro wireless
charger, Belkin also announced the Boost Charge UV Sanitizer and Wireless
Charger. Just as the name indicates, the device is a wireless charger which has
anti-bacterial properties. Belkin claims it reduces the bacteria level by up to
99.99%. This is achieved using the two internal UV-C LED lights which it
packs. The compact device can be used to
sanitize phones and other small, nonporous items by placing them inside. While
sterilizing the gadgets, it also wirelessly charge the devices, thanks to the
10W wireless charger onboard.
The sterilizer and wireless charger bring
to mind Samsung’s UV sterilizing box which was launched a couple of months
back. Even though it uses UV light for sterilization, there is no wireless
charging feature on Samsung’s. The company is yet to reveal the pricing and
availability details of the products.
