Wear Your Solar-powered Leaf Phone on the Go

With all those high-end devices packed with various advanced features appearing on the cell phone market, it seems many people have forgotten the basic functions of a phone and more importantly, they have overlooked the impact of these high-end phones on environment. This new wearable solar-charged leaf phone may remind us what we have neglected.

Designed by Seungkyn Woo and Junyi Heo, this high-tech gadget inspired by photosynthesis is named the Leaf phone. The Leaf incorporates a layer of flexible solar cells located in its front panel, which allows the phone to charge by solar energy while you are wearing it outdoors. With magnets on its two ends, the Leaf can be bent to wrap around your wrist and form a fashionable wristwatch for portability. In addition, it comes with a solar-powered cradle, which you can plug the phone into for recharging. Alternatively, you may also recharge it using electricity during night time or on a gloomy day.

The Leaf keeps everything basic and simple by just offering users to make phone calls, send and receive messages. It is not equipped with a lot of fancy features such as surfing the Internet, playing games, downloading music and checking e-mails, but it is an ecologically green phone that can help save energy. The designers said they hope that the gadget can "remind people that they can contribute to energy efficiency".

The Leaf phone is only a concept for now, but it presents a perfect blend of eco-friendly ideas, fashion and innovative technology – a flexible bracelet phone that harnesses the solar power without polluting the environment. If this solar charged wrist phone really comes to the market, it may become another hot handset following Apple’s iPhone.
