ZTE, the Chinese manufacturer of phones and telecom equipment is going to launch the Coral-200-Solar, a solar powered phone that may bring mobile communication to communities not yet connected by reliable power supply.

ZTE is partnering Jamaica’s Digicel Group to roll out one of the world’s first mass-market solar cellphones to folks with “limited or no access to the power grid”. The phone gets its juice via an integrated solar charger that recharges the battery, so you don’t have to depend on power outlets at home . Coming in June, this handset may lack the flash of the Samsung Blue Earth, but low price would suit just fine to its target consumers.
