Both of the above phones are simply to campaign against polluting materials. The W510 has a battery cover made out of cornstarch, an environmentally-friendly metal finishing process and a anti-bacterial material. The F268 has a 2 megapixel camera, no 3G, but one of the highlights is the lack of brominated flame retardants (BFR) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) use.

“Samsung is striving to continue to be a strong corporate citizen that contributes to environmental sustainability,” said Geesung Choi, President of Samsung’s Telecommunication Business. “Now we are trying not only to launch more environmentally-conscious products with more renewable material and less energy consuming, but also to expand and proactively set up a phone recycling system”.
