Eco-Phone to Communicate Future of Sustainable Technology

BARCELONA — The days of can-to-can communication are over. To celebrate, Samsung recently announced its newest eco-savvy cell phone.

It also includes energy-saving sensors that switch off the backlights to allow the solar panel to work its magic faster.
