Samsung Blue Earth Mobile Phone

Samsung unveiled the innovative solar-powered full touchscreen Blue Earth mobile phone at Mobile World Congress 2009 in Barcelona, Spain.

Designed to symbolize a flat and well rounded shiny pebble, Blue Earth is the first solar-powered full touchscreen phone.

By charging with the solar panel located on the back of the phone, users can generate enough electronic power to call anytime anywhere.

Blue Earth is made from recycled plastic called PCM, which is extracted from water bottles, helping to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions in the manufacturing process.

The device, including charger, is free from harmful substances such as brominated flame retardants, beryllium and phthalate.

Under the slogan “The Blue Earth Dream: Eco-living with Samsung mobile” Samsung reinforced its commitment to protect the environment through the design of eco-friendly products and a programme of activities for its customers.
