Tecno has introduced a new technology that enables you to manually change the color of your smartphone. You can pick from over a thousand different colors and apply them to your phone\u2019s back panel at will. The company also makes it possible to automatically change the color based on activity or battery status.
\nIntroduced at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023, which is currently underway in Barcelona, Tecno\u2019s Chameleon Coloring Technology is a \u201cfull-spectrum electrically-controller prism coloring technology\u201d. The magic is created by a grid of sub-micron prism material that changes direction upon applying an electric field. The company has devised a way to precisely control the direction of the material to achieve different colors. The prism can scatter light in different wavelengths to produce various shades.
\nThis prism material can be embedded in the back of a smartphone to let users manually change colors at a touch of a button.\u00a0According to a GSMArena report, this tech can produce a total of 1600 different shades. You can access the full spectrum on your phone and switch colors whenever you want. Tecno can also enable you to configure the system in a way that changes colors based on the battery level or activities such as music and incoming notifications. You may also be able to set a unique back color for each app on your phone.
\nIt reportedly takes a fraction of a second for the material to switch from one color to another (just about 0.03 seconds). You can change colors up to two million times before the prism material starts losing its properties. That\u2019s enough to outlast the device itself, though. As far as power consumption is concerned, changing colors 100 times in a day eats up \u201cas much power as watching a 5-minute video\u201d. So it will hardly impact the phone\u2019s battery life.
