London, Apr 14 (ANI): A Japanese firm is launching a solar-powered waterproof mobile phone that can be entirely operated by exposure to sunlight.
The new phone is a sunlight-powered device, which will be sold by mobile phone company KDDI from June, reports The Telegraph.
Ten minutes of exposure to sunlight is sufficient for a one-minute call or to power the handset in standby mode for two hours.he handset's 80percent battery can be recharged entirely by sunlight as a result of storage technology embedded in the front face of the phone, according to manufacturers.
Marketed as a "green" eco-friendly alternative to conventional mobile phone handsets, the company claims that the device's lack of dependence on standard electricity will help reduce carbon dioxide emission levels. (ANI)

It's about time somebody comes up with this sort of innovation.
And its also high time I switch to something more "hi-tech" than the last unit I owned.
Just a thought! You have to be computer-savvy and I'm not one of those people yet.
