A stellar start, Tecno begins its first appearance at MWC with the introduction of its new Chameleon coloring technology. When integrated into a device (the back of a smartphone), it can produce a wide variety of color patterns.

Chameleon coloring technology is a full-spectrum electric prism coloring technology, which uses a grid of submicron prism material that changes direction when an electric field is applied. By precisely controlling the direction of the prism, the material can refract light in several different wavelengths, resulting in a wide range of iridescent colors.
To be clear, the material is not a screen and does not produce any light. Instead, it reflects light off its surface, coloring it in the process.
The arrangement of the submicron prism can be controlled manually via the device’s software, allowing you to either manually choose from a total of 1600 different colors or automatically change based on battery status, music or notifications. This can be done up to 2 million times, making it quite durable even with multiple changes throughout the day.
The material can change colors in 0.03 seconds. It also has negligible power consumption, with a change of 100 over the course of a day requiring as much energy as watching a 5-minute video.
Tecno is no stranger to color-changing backs. Last year, the company launched the Techno Camon 19 Pro Mondrian Edition, which used polychromatic photoisomer technology for the back panel that changed colors when exposed to UV radiation from sunlight.
While the new Chameleon coloring technology does not yet have a home in a planned device, it is likely that we should see a smartphone from the company incorporating the technology sooner than later.
