If you want more evidence, there are two independent tests here [youtube.com]and here [youtube.com] from news stations. And even better, there's a published study from MIT researchers [nih.gov] where they specifically tested a PhoneSoap and concluded, "254-nm UVC devices providing a dose of 60 mJ/cm2, with UVC bulbs exposing both sides of the smartphone, were an effective nonliquid method for smartphone sanitization."
That 60 mJ/cm^2 value was specifically referring to the 5 min Phonesoap cycle, that means the Phonesoap they tested had an irradiance of 0.2 mW/cm^2.
Whether or not Phonesoap is effective against coronaviruses like SARS-CoV-2 is another question. This study published in Nature [nature.com] determined, "Under a UV-C irradiance of 0.849 mW/cm2, partial inactivation occurred from 0.8 s of exposure, while SARS-CoV-2 virus infectivity was reduced to below detectable levels in as few as 9 s for dried virus and 4 s for wet virus." Based on that info, it's very likely that the running the 0.2 mW/cm^2 irradiance Phonesoap for the standard 5 or 10 min cycle will be plenty of time inactivate the COVID-19 virus.
There's another study [nih.gov] saying that a 10.2 mJ/cm^2 is needed to inactivate SARS-CoV-2, that means the Phonesoap would only need to run for 53 seconds to be effective.

Re: Covid, there seems to be very little proof that you can get infected from surfaces anyway.

But also yeah, you're right about surface transmission, I think the CDC said there's a 1 in 10,000 chance of getting infected from surfaces. I still use the PhoneSoap mainly because of bacteria and other pathogens.
