Smartphones tend to require a whole lot of batteries. I know mine does! I have to make sure I charge mine every night before going to class the next day. Conveniently, a new Android smartphone called the Umeox Apollo is the only phone that runs on solar power!

The sad thing about this phone is that no release date has been confirmed yet, so there might not be a possibility of getting released in the US (Nooooo). There will be two models, and they will be able to function in Europe and Asia.

It only needs to bask in the sun for 2.5 hours to get a full, charged battery! How awesome is that? The phone also has 1GB of internal storage, a microSD memory card slot, a 3-megapixel rear camera and an integrated FM radio.
