Samsung Blue Earth cellphone
Since November, the ecofriendly mobile phone “Blue Earth” by Samsung is available in stores. Ideal green Christmas gift, it is recharged by solar energy through photovoltaic panels on the back of the camera. With this configuration, it allows autonomy of 25min after being charged for 1h in the sun. Completely environmentally friendly, the Blue Earth has a hull made of recycled materials (extracts from plastic bottles), and contains no harmful substance (brominated flame retardants, PVC or phthalates). This smart phone also has features related to the environment. The eco-walk is a pedometer that calculates the amount of carbon saved by walking with a converter trees saved. With Samsung’s touch interface, the Blue Earth is just as powerful as other mobile manufacturer in South Korea: 2.8 inch screen, 5 megapixel camera, FM radio, 3G +, RSS reader …
In addition, the packaging is made from recycled paper. An eco-package that wishes to expand the brand to end all its product lines.
Like the Blue Earth blue steel design, Samsung has also commercialized a mobile input range: the Solar Crest Samsung E1107. It allows only 5 to 10min autonomy instead of the 25 allowed by the Blue Earth. The difference is in price: from 300€ for the Blue Earth and 49€ for the E1107 Crest Solar.
