Samsung Electronics Co Ltd has unveiled a solar powered full-touch screen phone "Blue Earth”, alongside its vision for environmental sustainability. Under the slogan: "The Blue Earth Dream: Eco-living with Samsung mobile”, the company reinforced its commitment to protect the environment through the design of eco-friendly products and a programme of activities for its customers. It will be showcased at Mobile World Congress 2009 for the first time.
Designed to symbolize a flat and well rounded shiny pebble, Blue Earth is said to be the first solar powered full-touch screen phone. By charging with the solar panel located on the back of the phone, users can generate enough electronic power to call anytime anywhere, the company said.
The packaging for Blue Earth is made from recycled paper, and comes with a 5 star energy efficient charger which uses standby power lower than 0.03W. As part of the Voluntary Agreement of European Commission IPP (Integrated Product Policy) pilot program, Samsung has agreed to start using rating on energy consumption on the no-load mode of the mobile device charger.
