Idea for next generation smartphones

[Erks]

Hi guys. Samsung could add a solar panel to the next generation phone. For example, the back cover could be a solar panel. I think this could be very helpful if you are lost and your phone battery is run out. That would be one useful innovation!?!

Good Idea ! That won't yield much power though, in full sunlight perhaps 10% of what a normal charger produces.

This won't be very practical due to cases and also it wouldn't be very cost effective compared to other charging methods that are used nowadays. For now I think I'll just stick to my charger and portable Dock. 😃
