BuQu Tech's Magnetyze System Charges Android and iPhones with Magnets

By Colleen Lynch, TMCnet Contributor

The smartphone industry is known for continually unveiling new features, apps and capabilities of the devices that revolutionize the industry and challenge the competing companies to stay innovative. Samsung (News - Alert) has raised the bar again, and the other smartphone companies should take note. BuQu Tech has plans to release their magnetic charger Magnetyze by the end of the month, which will work with the Android (News - Alert) platform to allow both Android and iOS devices to share a charger.



Now, fans of both smartphones can come to a sort of common ground, as both can use the Magnetyze charging system, which works as a smartphone cover for either the iPhone (News - Alert) or an Android device. The smartphone cover attaches to the back of the phone, and will then keep the device charged without ever having to plug the phone in with a wired charger.

“Magnetyze is the ideal solution for families who use both the Android and iPhone platform, because every phone equipped with a Magnetyze sleeve is instantly compatible with every Magnetyze accessory, regardless of which platform they use,” explained BuQu Tech’s CEO Ophir Marish, in a statement.“Now, both iPhone and Android users can upgrade their smartphones without the hassle and expense associated with purchasing new charging devices or other accessories.”

Gone are the days of searching your local coffee-shop for an open plug, or frantically trying to find your friends at the bar when your phone dies. For those anxious to see the magnetic charging system at work, BuQu Tech will demonstrate Magnetyze at the company’s MGM Grand suite during the 2013 International CES (News - Alert) in Las Vegas. The device will also be displayed January 8th in the ShowStoppers press event, 6pm to 10pm at the Wynn Hotel/Lafite Ballroom, table A47.

There are other magnetic accessory products that are a part of the Magnetyze brand, including a desk stand and a magnetic charging cable, and they will be available for purchase as a bundle at www.buqutech/Magnetyze once the system is released.

One bundle available goes for $59.99, and another for $69.99. For details on the bundles and what each will include, visit BuQu Tech’s Magnetyze link.
