Indian manufacturer Micromax is very well known for its smartphones and a tablet (Funbook). They have launched many low budget smartphones but with good configurations and durable. Now they are back again with new concept. Today Micromax launched its first Solar Panel powered Dual SIM phone - Micromax X259.

With the help of built in Solar Panel, phone gets charged automatically by just exposing to the sunlight. Users don’t need to charge it with electricity unless and until they need heavy usage. As Micromax says, you can use the phone upto 1.5 hours by charging it for 3 hours in sunlight. That is pretty good for the people living in Indian rural area where there are still electricity problems.

According to Micromax Co-Founder Mr. Rahul Sharma, “We have been at the forefront of innovation. We have introduced many categories into this competitive Industry be it long battery life phones or dual SIM phones. With the introduction of this our intent is to get rid of the mobile phone charger by including a solar panel on the device itself”. Micromax X259 seems a very normal mobile phone for day to day use such as receiving and making phone calls, and Sms. But it still has useful features including VGA camera, GPRS, Bluetooth and Mi-Zone/Mi-Store. The Micromax X259 is now available the price of just 2,499/-.
