With the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and the cases rising around the world, one of the most effective ways to prevent the infection is personal hygiene and sensitizing things and products that you come in contact with.
Spotting the opportunity, Samsung has launched a new UV sterilizer for smartphones, accessories, and electronic products. As per the company’s claim, it can kill up to 99 percent of germs and bacteria using UV-C radiation.

The Dual UV setup in the device can eliminate pathogens and bacteria on both the sides of a device in a single go. It’s large in size, measuring 22.8 x 12.8 x 4.9cm, and thus, it can accommodate larger devices like the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra.
Samsung says that it should thoroughly disinfect both sides of your phone in just about 10 minutes. Its functionality isn’t limited to just disinfection. The new Samsung UV Sterilizer also doubles up as a wireless charger and supports 10W charging.
It seems to be an extension of the phone sanitizing service that Samsung is already offering in about 19 countries across the world through its own Samsung Service Centers and Samsung Experience Stores.
As for the Samsung UV Sanitizer, it is currently only available for purchase in Thailand for a price of 1,590 baht, which roughly converts to $50. We expect the company to make this product available in other countries soon, but there’s no confirmation yet.
