Devices and surfaces that we are in constant contact with have come under scrutiny during the COVID-19 pandemic as a breeding ground for the virus, which is seeing designers come up with solutions like this conceptual phone toaster. Designed by Lee Sungwook, the toaster-like appliance works by having the smartphone placed into the unit like a piece of bread and activated. The device will then be bathed in UV light to eradicate pathogens, while also charging it up wirelessly to increase overall efficiency.
The conceptual phone toaster is a simple yet effective appliance that could see widespread adoption in the near future as consumers seek out easier ways to keep their devices as clean as possible with minimal effort.
