APRIL 2020 • TECH ADVISOR 29The Belkin Soundform Elite
is a hi-fi smart speaker with a
neat trick: wireless charging
- Belkin Soundform Elite
Smart speakers powered by Google Assistant are a
dime a dozen, but the Belkin Soundform Elite (£279)
is something different. For one, the audio comes from
Devialet, so you’re getting the company’s patented
Speaker Active Matching technology that “ensures
radically high fidelity so you can experience music
as the artist intended”. (That means it sounds good.)
For another, you can pair it with any Google Assistant
speaker to play multi-room audio. But the best part?
It’s also a wireless charger and a fast one (9 watts for
Galaxy phone, 10 watts for Pixels). Let’s see Apple’s
HomePod do that.
