Engineers in Shenzhen, China have developed Umeox Solar mobile phone built durable with rubber protective jacket, making it dustproof and waterproof. Umeox Solar mobile phone is reputedly able to withstand bullets and will survive being dropped on the road into a puddle of water, and then hit by a bus.
French mobile phone company, Sagem, in collaboration with Puma, one of the famous brands in the world of sport. They made solar-powered 3G smartphone that feels suitable for sports lovers.
Like most other smartphones, this device has a resolution of 240×320 pixels. Puma Phone features solar cells located at the back of the phone. Uniquely, users will get points when ‘hanging out’ of this phone. Accumulated points can then be converted into prizes at Puma Store.
As a phone aimed to sports lovers, Puma Phone has features such as: Analog Stopwatch, Pedometer, Yachting Compass, GPS run tracker and GPS bike Speedo. As a result, this phone will be very compatible when paired with an athlete.
In addition to solar energy, Puma Phone also has a Li-Ion Battery 880 mAh, with 3G connectivity. This product will be marketed starting next April. Unfortunately, Puma had not yet published the price. [Via]
