Belkin and Devialet partner up for a Google Assistant smart speaker with wireless charger

Belkin has announced a new partnership at CES with speaker maker Devialet, who they’ve teamed up with to create a new smart speaker with Google Assistant inside that also includes a wireless charger.

The Soundform Elite speaker relies on the high-end audio nous of Devialet, incorporating their patented Speaker Active Matching (SAM) technology, which ‘perfectly renders the original intent of the content creator with high-fidelity sound reproduction’. The result is a premium, high-fidelity speaker which can play audio up to 90dB SPL of max volume.

Belkins fast wireless charging technology built into the top of the speaker is capable of charging iPhones at 7.5W, Samsung phones at 9W, and Google Pixel phones at 10W.

Steve Malony, SVP, Belkin International said of the speaker
Belkin is excited about the potential that both the SOUNDFORM ELITE™ Hi-Fi Smart Speaker + Wireless Charger and the partnership with Devialet unlock for us as a brand. Our heritage in audio, leadership in fast wireless charging, and Devialet’s acoustic expertise allow us to make products for consumers that are both exceptional and convenient.
