Samsung Wednesday 10th June, launched a low-cost solar-powered mobile phone in Noida, and said it was planning to introduce about 20 more models by year-end.
The new handset, 'Guru' - cost will be just Rs.2,799, has a solar panel on the back, which can be used to charge the battery anywhere the sun is shining.
'We have developed this phone keeping in minds the needs of the consumers, especially for people in areas where the electric supply is unstable,' said J.S. Shin, president and chief executive of Samsung, Southwest Asia.
'Solar charging can give you enough time to make few important calls when there is no electricity or you are not close to a plug point,' said Sunil Dutt, country head of Samsung India.
'But that is really not the intention behind the launch of this phone. It is to enable customers to make a call when there is no electricity,' said Dutt.
The handset, the 11th model in the Guru series, will be in shops by month-end.
And company planning to introduce solar charging features in high-end phones also.
