Samsung release their new phone, designed to give the planet a break

First spoken of back in February 2009, it has taken Samsung almost a year to get to the point where they are almost ready to release their new phone, the Samsung Blue Earth. The Blue earth is designed to help out the environment in terms of the amount of energy it uses, and how the phone is recharged. The most noticeable thing about the phone is that taking up the back of it is a solar panel. This may seem like something from a futuristic film, but you can actually charge the phone just by pointing it up at the sky. Although a natural charge may not last as long as an electrical charge, it not only helps out the environment, but is also great for you when you phone runs out of battery, as you can easily recharge it.

The Blue Earth itself is made largely from recycled plastic and household waste. This cuts down on the emissions produce by the phone in the manufacturing stage, as often factories have to make new plastic which burns dangerous chemicals into the air. Even the box the phone comes in is “planet friendly”, as it can be re used and made into a photo frame or pen holder if you want. The Blue Earth itself features a 3.2 megapixel camera, ideal for taking shots when you see a nice landscape or family moment. The phone features and Eco walk application which helps encourage you to walk around to places rather than drive, and shows you directions as well as providing you with motivational comments. Due to arrive in Sweden this month, Samsung have said the phone will be released shortly after in the rest of Europe and Asia.
