Infinix is showing off its new AI-powered E-Ink Phone at MWC 2025. Powered by the e-Color Shift 2.0 technology, the new E Ink Phone is similar to its predecessor in that it comes with a back panel that features an E Ink display. However, it now draws on the power of AI to set a color palette based on the current weather situation. Apart from the AI-powered system, there are also several pre-set patterns that are also available.
Another improvement with the latest generation E Ink phone is that it gets its juice from the phone’s internal battery and is hence able to change colors at any time. The first-generation phone, on the other hand, was able to adopt a different pattern only when it was plugged in. The only drawback with the current setup is that it might affect the battery life of the phone howsoever small it might be. E Ink display requires power only when the display changes but requires zero power as long as the display remains static.
Infinix also showcased a solar-powered phone which features a built-in solar panel on the back. The company is referring to it as the SolarEnergy-Reserving technology which is based on perovskite solar cells. Unlike solar panels made from silicon, perovskite solar cells are thinner as well as more affordable.
The solar power phone also comes with the Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) feature that ensures the phone does not overheat even when placed in direct sunlight. The solar panel however is capable of generating only 2W power which can be enough to extend the battery life and cannot charge the battery as such.
The company is also showing off a solar-powered phone case that comes with a built-in battery. It can be detached from the phone can put in the sun to recharge the integrated batteries. This way, the case can serve as a secondary source of power and can be handy during emergency situations or when engaging in adventure activities in far-flung areas.
With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
