Some carpentry experience required
, with a new model: the Liberty Built-in charger — which, as the name implies, is designed to be integrated directly into your desk itself for an even more streamlined look.
The original Zens Liberty charger was released back in 2020 and offered an innovative 16-coil design that allowed you to simply place a Qi-compatible phone or device anywhere on the wireless charging pad instead of having to carefully align charging coils or rely on a MagSafe-style magnetic system.of your desk, while the new Liberty Built-in charger is designed to be integrated directly into your nightstand or desktop for a more seamless design.
The biggest issue with the new built-in model — aside from the carpentry skills needed to actually integrate it into a desk — is that none of the chargers arepowerful enough. Instead of wirelessly charging two devices at up to 15W each, like the original Liberty charger, the built-in model tops out at 10W each . And while the integrated USB-C charger is shown ambitiously charging a laptop in Zens’ promo image, 30W just isn’t enough for most modern USB-C laptops.
That’s especially true given the price: Zens’ built-in starts at €249.99 for the plain white model, while the far more interesting-looking glass model costs €279.99 . That’s a substantial price increase over the original desktop model, which costs $169 in the US for the regular version and $199 for the glass-topped model.
Still, even with those caveats, the new Zens Liberty Built-in is an attractive-looking evolution of the original design. And while it’s unlikely that I’ll be hacking apart my Ikea nightstand anytime soon to try and add an integrated wireless charger to it, I can certainly understand the appeal.Sign up for the newsletterPlease confirm your subscription to Verge Deals via the verification email we just sent you.
