Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi may be trying to launch a smartphone that can be recharged by solar energy. According to LetsGoDigital's report, the company applied for a patent in July 2018, which was recently approved and published by the World intellectual property Office (WIPO).

According to LetsGoDigital, the back of the phone will be integrated with a solar panel-covering most of the back. The top does not seem to accommodate the vertically placed dual camera settings. The report pointed out that due to the solar panels, "the camera module extends beyond the solar panels", the mobile phone will not be very thick. There is no fingerprint sensor on the back, which means that the device can accommodate the fingerprint reader of the display screen.

The front of the smartphone all shows that there is no sign of any gap. In addition, there is no pop-up camera on the smartphone because there is also a sketch of the top edge of the device in the patent. For this phone, Xiaomi is likely to use the off-screen selfie camera we saw in the demo. On the side, the illustration shows that the left edge houses the SIM card tray, the right edge holds the volume joystick and power button, and the bottom has a dual speaker grille and two USB Type-C ports.

It is worth noting that if Xiaomi decides to launch a smartphone that supports solar charging, it will not be the first. Handset makers such as LG and Samsung have launched devices equipped with solar rechargeable batteries. Back in 2009, Samsung launched a feature phone called Guru E1107. Samsung claims it can provide five to 10 minutes of extra talk time in an hour in the sun. As for LG, the South Korean manufacturer has released solar cell covers as an accessory to its LG Pop GD510 smartphone.
