Eco Factor: Concept phone designed to be powered by solar energy.
With mobile phone manufacturers working on newer systems that allow their devices to charge on the move, industrial designers aren’t leaving any stone unturned to give manufacturers what they want. Designers Seungkyn Woo and Junyi Heo have designed the Leaf, which is a wearable phone concept that gets powered by solar energy.
The flexible phone carries flexible solar modules, which enables the user to wear the device like a wristwatch. The ends of the wristband are secured with magnets. The device won’t allow you to download music or play games, but will make sure that the basic phone functions are made to run on green energy. The main power source of the phone is solar energy, but if the sun isn’t shining, there is a traditional wall charger as well.
