It appears that mobile phone makers are shifting focus to the rural people in a big way and are coming up with innovations custom made for the masses. Vodafone has come up with a new solar powered handset called the VF 247. The phone is priced at an affordable rate of Rs. 1,500, keeping in mind the target audience which mostly is the rural mass, and will be available across India from next month.
The VF 247 has the option of being charged in direct sunlight. The Sun Boost technology installed in the phone ensures that the phone is charged in a room, under normal daylight. The phone packs in a color screen, a torch light and FM radio among its specs. The device needs eight hours of direct sunlight to be fully charged.
