Infinix, a smartphone manufacturing company based in Hong Kong, has found a way for phones with leather backs to change colors when exposed to sunlight. The new innovation features an artificial leather back that changes its color when subjected to ultraviolet light, similar to the Vivo V23 and Realme 9 Pro. When the leather is shielded from light, it returns to its original color.
The company explained that the Future Light-Painting Leather contains embedded light-sensitive polymers, and when exposed to ultraviolet light, the molecular structure changes, resulting in a color shift. Infinix also noted that this is a "passive color-changing technology" and does not require additional power from the phone. According to the company, users will be able to create different patterns on the backs of their phones, providing limitless customization possibilities for users.
Infinix stated that Future Light-Painting Leather will be available in future Infinix phones, but did not specify when these phones are expected to be released, according to Phone Arena.
