Solar Powered Phones
February 19th, 2009Samsung has launched yet another innovative cell phone - the Blue Earth. This handset is known to be the first solar powered full-touch screen device from the Korean consumer electronics giant, and is in line with the company’s vision for environmental sustainability. Samsung is reinforcing its commitment to protect the environment via the design of eco-friendly products as well as a relevant programme of activities for its large customer base.
The solar panel is located right behind the handset for users to generate enough juice to carry out that emergency conversation or send a text message when there is nary a power outlet in sight. The body of the phone is made from recycled plastic known as PCM which is actually extracted from water bottles in an effort to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions during the manufacturing process. Both the device and charger are free from harmful substances such as Brominated Flame Retardants, Beryllium and Phthalate.
A new era has begun.
