Considering how often you touch your phone on a given day and the germs it attracts, it only makes sense to ensure that sanitisation does not stop with your hands alone. Thankfully, the latest Samsung wireless charger with UV steriliser is here to take care of this challenge.
Samsung’s ITFIT UV Sterilizer is the tech giant’s new wireless charger with a novel feature that couldn’t come at a better time: built-in ultraviolet lights to sanitize your mobile. The dual lamps housed within illuminate from above and below to kill 99% of common bacteria (like Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus and Candida albicans) in just ten minutes as your phone gets some juice.
Even with a fairly compact profile (8.9in x 5.2in x 1.9in), the device is still roomy enough to be used on other small objects you may want to sterilize. Your keys, wallet, earbuds and sunglasses are just some of the most common items that fit neatly within its borders.
Although the company doesn’t list the current coronavirus, Covid-19, as one of the microorganisms killed by its UV lamps, UV lights are an active area of exploration as scientists and governments look for new ways to combat the contagion in public places. Even metropolitan centres as large as New York City are experimenting with UV lights as a means of disinfecting entire subway cars in one fell swoop. No one can say with any certainty whether this new device’s UV output will help, but the measure is unlikely to do further harm.
