The E-Color Shift 2.0 innovation allows the back panel of the phone to change and display vibrant colors without consuming extra power. Infinix explains that this updated technology enables users to benefit from AI-driven customizations based on their preferences and environmental factors.
Users can select from six dynamic patterns and six color palettes, offering up to 30 unique combinations. Utilizing "AI-powered modules," the back panel adapts its colors in response to weather conditions, wallpapers, and surroundings, boasting enhanced color depth and segmentation.
With the SolarEnergy-Reserving Technology, Infinix aims to provide an eco-friendly and efficient approach to extending battery life. This technology integrates advanced perovskite photovoltaic systems with intelligent AI algorithms, effectively capturing and optimizing light energy for charging in various environments. The technology generates electricity from both indoor and outdoor light, which is stored in a specialized phone case.
This case then transfers power to the phone through discreet contact points, with AI algorithms that fine-tune energy acquisition in real time, enabling a storage capacity of up to 2W, with potential for future improvements.
