No, this is not a pancake! This is a fundamentally new charger for the Xpad wireless charger, unique in its design, characteristics, and materials. It will be available for any user in the near future. Currently, Indiegogo is actively collecting funds to start the production of these unusual devices made from environmentally friendly materials.
Australian developers from the startup PlusUs sought to create a new reconsidered design to reduce the harm done to nature by modern gadgets. For this purpose, they upgraded the charging coil, reducing its thickness to the minimal technically accessible size and created a unique design using cork, wood veneer or Italian leather.
The new Xpad charger is thin and has gained flexibility, which will be very useful during transportation and travel. The Xpad thickness is only 2.2 mm, which is significantly smaller than the 17 mm thick Samsung Wireless Charging Pad. This design became available after reducing the thickness of the charging coil by 50% and using thin natural materials instead of plastic.
Another unique feature of the Xpad is its versatility. The intelligent chip built into PlusUs Xpad independently determines the maximum power for the optimal charging speed needed for each specific device. In addition, customers can use the Xpad with any network adapter, as well as with laptops that have regular USB ports or USB-C.
The price of the most cost-effective PlusUs Xpad, made from cork and pre-ordered on Indiegogo, is only $32. In open sale, it will cost 49 dollars. The estimated delivery date is June 2019.
