At MWC 2025, Infinix's Solar-Powered Phone Can Recharge With Ambient Light

At MWC 2025, Infinix showcased its innovative solar charging technology integrated into its prototype Infinix Note 40 and upcoming Note 50 phones. This SolarEnergy-Reserving technology allows the phones to charge using ambient light, including sunlight and indoor lighting, with a charging capacity of up to 2 watts. While slower than traditional charging methods, this passive charging solution offers convenience for users needing extra battery life in emergencies. The technology is still in testing, with potential changes before it becomes market-ready.

In addition to solar charging, Infinix introduced E-Color Shift 2.0, which uses AI to change the phone's back color and patterns based on environmental factors. Other companies at MWC 2025 also explored solar power concepts, such as Anker's Solix Cloak, which recharges devices when worn. Infinix is considering expanding its solar technology to other devices like wearables.
