Samsung Releasing a Solar Powered Cell Phone

Samsung is releasing what’s been called the “holy green grail” of gadgets. Their new Blue Earth touchscreen phone can be powered by the sun, is partially made out of recycled water bottles and lacks the toxic substances found in many other electronics. A large solar panel on the back of the device taps the power of the sun, and will be able to fully charge the extremely energy efficient phone. The manufacturer also plans to incorporate solar cells into their entire product line in the future. The Blue Earth will be released at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on February 16th.
