After unveiling a magnetic, hinged concept smartphone, Tecno followed up with two phone designs that focus on color-changing finishes: one with E Ink and the other incorporating neon.

The Pova Neon is particularly interesting, as it features real neon lighting, using “ ionized inert gas ” lighting technology to create a glowing effect. In contrast, the AI E Ink model embeds colored electronic ink on the back of the phone, allowing users to change the color of the phone instantly. Impressively, you can adjust the color using the camera, allowing the phone to match your outfit with a single shot.
As with any concept, there's no guarantee that Tecno will release an actual phone with either design, and the neon variant seems particularly unlikely to make it to market. However, a color-changing E Ink phone could be released in the near future.

Tcno has entered the concept phone space with a bang, offering innovative solutions that incorporate cutting-edge technologies. The use of neon lighting in the Pova Neon is a bold move that highlights the company's ability to combine aesthetics with technology. Although the possibility of mass production of such a model is small, this idea opens up new avenues for how we can perceive the use of lighting in mobile devices.
On the other hand, the E Ink model offers a more realistic approach to the market. The ability to change color through E Ink technology is a practical solution that can find application in everyday uses. The ability to change the color of your phone depending on your mood or your outfit offers a level of personalization that we have never seen before.
Tecno, with these innovations, shows that it is ready to move beyond the traditional boundaries of smartphone technology. While the mass production of these concepts may be questionable, their influence on the direction of research and development is undeniable. The company seems to be investing in technologies that not only impress but also offer real value to users.
