Viro Smartphone Never Needs To Be Charged; Due On October 1

The Viro Smartphone does not need charging, ever. The company said this in a statement about their product that would be announced on October 1.

Paris: Viro is a start-up company. In their Facebook page the company stated that the Smartphone need not be charged due to three renewable sources of power. A few potential sources of energy is anyone’s guess. One of it is solar power through a clear screen panel. Another is water dew and movement via piezoelectric motors. But this does not suffice for the ‘no need for charging’ claim.

Since the phone comes with no holes to plug in cables it would be completely sealed on the sides and hence waterproof. Viro said that it comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon as yet unannounced 810 processor, a 5.21 inch IPS screen, with 424 ppi resolution and Gorilla Glass 3 protection with Native Damage Resistance.

One of ways in which it saves power using memory was explained by the company. “To boost energy saving we used the GRAM, a memory which disables GPU and a part of the system-on-a-chip when a static image is displayed on the screen, allowing it to consume approximately 26 per cent less power.” It also says that skipping the QHD screen option has saved it a further 40 per cent battery.

The Viro Smartphone will run on Android. May be it is Android L to save even more power. It will come with Sony’s 20.7 MP rear camera and an 8-megapixel selfie front facing camera.

Meanwhile it is noticed that Smartphones and wearables are growing advanced by the day though they still run on batteries that need to be charged frequently. The battery remains the same.

But a major power revolution seems to be taking place. Technology companies are aware of the limitations of lithium-ion batteries. Still we wait using our Smartphones for a day or two without charging.

The wait does not have to be long though. By next year or so we can see many of the new changes in power sourcing techniques for Smartphones like uBeam over the charging, water dew powered batteries and Storedot chargers which charge a phone in 30 seconds.
