HTW S116 – the first Solar Powered Mobile Phone

Solar Powered HTW S116 Chinese HTW (Hi-Tech Wealth) showcased a mobile phone that can be charged by a solar panel at the CHITEC 2007 trade-show in China. The HTW S116 clamshell style phone was launched in March at the CeBit 2007.

This solar powered cell phone helps you in getting rid of charging your cell phone. With the solar powered cell phone, the phone keeps recharging when you are out in the sun and when the handset is not in the pocket.

The main features of HTW S116 are:

  • Measure: 110x52x18.5mm
  • 2.2 inch QVGA color display
  • MP3 player
  • 1.3MP camera
  • USB
  • The S116 looks very cool with the solar panel. The solar powered mobile phone HTW S116 has already started selling in China for about $520. China is working to save electricity and now its turn for other country’s to fetch in. Hoping the company brings this phone to other markets apart from China.
