The Samsung Blue Earth will be presented at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next week. Instead of
using a plug-in cord to obtain electricity, the phone features solar panels that will charge its battery. After a ten minute charge this phone can yield a three minute conversation. Made from recycled plastic water bottles, this new invention is about as environmentally-friendly as it gets.
Other green features this phone presents are the ability to calculate one’s “eco-walk” (the amount of carbon dioxide one can save by walking instead of driving) and the number of trees one is saving by walking.
Although the Samsung Blue Earth will have great effects on our environment in the future, its price has not been released as of right now. Information as to when the phone will be sold and in what countries will be announced soon.
