TECNO CAMON 19 Pro Mondrian Edition with Polychromatic Photoisomer panel to launch in India

Smartphone designs haven’t evolved a lot over the past few years, but we have seen brands like vivo and Nothing that have tried to differentiate their phone’s design with unique rear panels. We have seen phones from OPPO and vivo change their colors when you expose them to sunlight or more specifically UV rays. Now TECNO joins this club with the debut of its CAMON 19 Pro Mondrian edition which features a unique technology that can change its color to multiple shades from plain white. TECNO describes it as a “light chasing” experience.

From the official renders, we can see multiple rectangular blocks on the back. Under normal conditions, the back features a plain white color, however, when exposed to sunlight, the different blocks change from white to different colors. To recall, phones like the Vivo V25 Pro can only change its color from one shade to the other. This makes the Camon 19 Pro Mondrian edition’s design one of a kind in this industry. Clearly, this color-changing design is going to be one of the biggest selling points of the device at launch.

Phones from brands like OPPO and Vivo that feature similar color-changing technologies rely on Fluorite AG glass. But in the case of the Camon 19 Pro Mondrian edition, it features a unique Polychromatic photoisomer technology. The phone relies on the recovery and breakage effect of the chain of photosynthesis molecular bonds under ultraviolet light, making the colorless molecular groups chromogenic and reverting to being colorless. To achieve this result, the phone has to go through 22 steps with the final product having the ability to change its color into multiple shades and also reverting back to being colorless. TECNO adds that the phone underwent 500 iterations until the resulting design was finalized.

TECNO also revealed a teaser video of the Camon 19 Pro Mondrian edition’s color-changing technology a few months ago. You can check it out down below.

In case you are wondering, the Camon 19 Pro Mondrian edition gets its name from the revered Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, a painter and art theoretician who is regarded as one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. Mondrian is known for his work on abstract art and intruding figurative paintings.

The CAMON 19 Pro Mondrian edition has also bagged multiple awards like the USA Muse design award and the A’ Design Award from Italy, an award that recognizes the best design concepts and products.

The phone is confirmed to launch in India later this month but an exact date hasn’t been revealed yet. It is said that the device will have identical specs to the standard CAMON 19 Pro model, but with this unique color-changing back panel.
