Western Digital reimagines the capabilities of the traditional charger with the Sandisk Ixpand Wireless Charger Sync. The new device combines fast charging for Qi-compatible devices as well as automatic data backup.
Helping to resolve the issue of manual back up, the Ixpand Wireless Charger Sync simplifies the process, so you do not have to think about it. Providing local storage in capacities up to 128GB, the Ixpand Wireless Charger Sync allows for fast wireless charging, while automatically backing up photos and videos, freeing up valuable space on your device.
“In today’s mobile-driven world, our customers rely on fully-powered and backed up mobile devices to stay connected, informed and entertained,” said Sairam Challa, product marketing manager, SanDisk, Western Digital. “The SanDisk brand is known for offering trusted solutions, and we are thrilled to expand our portfolio to include the world’s first wireless charger with automatic local backup, making consumers’ lives more convenient and simple.”

The Ixpand Wireless Charger Sync comes with temperature control, foreign object detection and adaptive charging to help keep your phone battery safe.
