Twelve South Launches Smaller Valet Wireless Charger with Increased Power Output
Twelve South has released an updated version of its Valet wireless charging tray, offering a more compact design and increased power output. The new model is half the depth (4.5 inches) compared to the original (7.5 inches), making it suitable for smaller spaces like nightstands while still delivering 25W of wireless power—up from 15W in the previous version. The updated Valet, priced at $129.99, is more affordable than its larger counterpart ($179.99) but remains pricier due to premium materials like Nappa leather and a zinc alloy base. It supports Qi2 wireless charging standards and includes a USB-C port for secondary devices, though power delivery on that port drops from 15W in the original model to just 10W when using the main charger. The product is part of an emerging trend toward higher-power wireless solutions as companies like Twelve South aim to meet growing consumer demand for sleek and efficient charging options.
