    In early 2016, Japan's Kyocera launched a prototype of a new solar-powered smartphone, partnered by Sunpartner Technologies
    , a French company focused on solar technology.

    It's a lap larger than the Torque we saw last year, has a 5-inch screen, and is still running a branch version
    of Android.
    But the internals of the machine are more worth exploring, and according to Sunpartner Technologies, Kyocera's new prototype has improved efficiency
    .

    It is said that this solar-powered smart phone can cope with 1 minute of talk time when exposed to the sun for 3 minutes
    .
    In contrast, older models require 10 minutes of exposure to provide 2 minutes of talk time
    .
    Kyocera has also developed a companion app for the machine to allow users to understand the charging status (ranging from "excellent" to "uncharged"
    ).
    Sunpartner representatives say that its solar technology may provide longer usage than calls when browsing the web
    .

    As for when Kyocera will bring solar-powered smartphones to the market, it is currently unknown
    .
