Solar mobile phone from Samsung
As far as the capabilities of the Samsung E1107 Solar Guru are concerned, it cannot compete with multimedia mobiles, but it is cheap and does not need to be charged often.
Due to the nature of the device's biggest attraction, the solar power supply, which, although not a revolution, is still a rarity in the field of mass-produced mobile phones. According to the manufacturer, during a 1-hour charge, the device accumulates enough energy for about 5-10 minutes of conversation, which, to put it mildly, does not seem to be a convenient solution. In this form, the use of a solar collector can, in our opinion, be seen as an extra option to extend operating time rather than a realistic alternative to traditional chargers, but it can still be a realistic alternative for tourists or those living far from the civilized world.
The device's knowledge base does not besiege today's top-level mobiles, but it does meet the requirements of entry-level models in all respects: this time the task of displaying is on a 1,5-inch CSTN panel capable of displaying 65 shades, which severely limits multimode options. Due to the solar panel, the camera was left out of the mobile this time, however, MP3 ringtones as well as the flashlight feature were not spared by Samsung engineers from the Solar Guru.
The device with an 800 mAh battery is now available for purchase in India for approximately HUF 12. Mobile is expected to debut in European markets later this month.
