Last week, Samsung announced a portable UV sterilizer for phones in Thailand with a price tag that roughly converts to $50. Now Samsung has made it available in more markets.

The Samsung ITFIT UV Disinfection Box as it is officially called is now available in Germany, Romania, Singapore, and Hong Kong. In Germany, folks will have to shell out €58.38 but the price tags for the other three countries are not available at the moment.

The box can eliminate up to 99% of bacteria and germs such as E. Coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans after only 10 minutes of disinfecting. Samsung says there is a UV lamp at the top and another at the bottom so that the front and back of the device or whatever item you put in the box gets disinfected simultaneously.

As stated in the original post, the box can also wirelessly charge compatible devices. So if you are running low on battery, just throw your phone in the box and get it recharged.

We expect the product will make it to more markets in the coming weeks and months.
