 Loading ... Let me say this right from the start… If there’s a concept phone that must be left in the sun all day so it’ll be charged with solar energy, won’t it become incredibly hot because it’s black? Criticism aside, we love the design of the Solar concept phone, typical candybar, but the back side is the really fascinating part.

There’s a removable back cover which seems to include mini solar panels and it can  be changed with another similar unit, for longer battery life. Designed by Warin Thanathawee, from Bangkok, Thailand, the Solar Phone can be used in the direct sunlight for an extra energy boost, in case the battery is dying.
