A thing that abounds in the Mobile World Congress They are the concepts. This refers generic to prototypes that are seen in this and other technology fairs and that can end up giving rise to a commercial product, or not. Chinese companies Lenovo and Infinix They have presented two of these concepts at the MWC 2025, A laptop and a smartphonerespectively, that make use of the solar energy to recharge your batteries; And they do it through The integration of solar panels in each of them.
Lenovo’s PC Yoga PC yoga that works for an hour after receiving sunlight for 20 minutes
He Yoga Solar PC It is a functional prototype that, to find commercial life, such as Thinkbook plus gene 6 which debuted as a concept in the MWC 2023 and is launched in June, will meet the needs of many users to obtain greater autonomy in your laptop and not depend so much on cables.
It has A solar panel formed by 84 solar cells that are integrated into the lid and has a conversion rate of More than 24 %. With this level of efficiency, you just need 20 minutes of direct sunlight to provide up to an hour of video playback. It is not a panel as efficient as those who use Perovskitathat exceed 40 %, but it seems sufficient for the needs of such a device.

Your screen is OLED of 14 inches and is enhanced by a processor Intel Lunar Lake, 32 GB RAM and 1 TB Storage Through application Dynamic Solar Tracking From Lenovo, the user knows how much current and voltage is producing the panel at every moment.
Infinix shows a mobile and founded with solar panels
The concept of the Chinese manufacturer Infinix, which has also presented a new version of its mobile with electronic ink screen at the rear, It covers both the terminal and a case that can be used with other brand smartphones.

Both are equipped with panels that They use Perovskita solar cellsthinner and cheap to produce than those of silicon, and with them they get a load of Up to 2 w. Far from what current fast -charged systems offer, this system, which infinix calls Solar energy reserveis designed to replace the battery when the mobile is not in use.
