Your Next Infinix Smartphone Could Come with a Color-Changing Leather Back!
Mar. 27, 2022Infinix Announces “Future Light-Painting Leather” Technology
The company says that it took over six months for its engineers to develop the leather-based color-changing tech. Infinix highlighted that it hasintegrated“photochromic polymers”into the leather to enable color-changing capabilities. The molecular structures of these photochromic polymers changes when exposed to sunlight, thus, the color-changing scenario!
Infinix also states that as the technology works with the help of sunlight,users can also use stencils to create unique, custom patterns on the back panel. Although these would be temporary, of course. The company also says that it was able to eliminate the leather-yellowing process after extended use by adjusting the leather structure.
Furthermore, as the Future Light-Painting Leather technology relies on UV light, it does not require additional power from the smartphone to work. Hence, it is a passive feature for smartphones and will not affect battery life.
Infinix confirmed that the color-changing leather technology will make its way to the market with its upcoming smartphones. However, it did not reveal any detail about the launch timeline of these devices. So, stay tuned for further updates regarding this.
