Samsung today announced the launch of Samsung Blue Earth, an environmentally friendly mobile phone with a full touch screen. Samsung Blue Earth combines the latest multimedia features and stylish design harmoniously, while achieving lower energy consumption and incorporating eco-friendly materials. Blue Earth comes with a unique user interface which is designed to draw attention to preserving our fragile environment. With Eco mode, screen brightness, backlight duration and Bluetooth can be set to an energy-efficient mode with just one click. The Eco Walk function allows users to count their steps with a built in pedometer and calculate the reduction in CO2 emission realized by walking as opposed to using a motor vehicle. This unique function allows users to see the value of walking by calculating the number of trees that have been saved.
Samsung Blue Earth is made from Post Consumer Material (PCM), which is extracted from water bottles, helping to reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions during the manufacturing process. The device, including the charger, is free from harmful substances such as Brominated Flame Retardants (BFR), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Phthalate. Blue Earth comes with a 5 star energy efficient charger which uses only 0.03W of power in standby mode. Samsung Blue Earth will be available in Sweden in October and soon in France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Portugal and other European and Asian countries.
