LAGOS March 22, 2022 – Infinix proudly announced its release of the world’s first
Future Light-Painting Leather yesterday. The technology works when UV light
interacts with the smartphone’s back cover, adding innovative and flexible colour
options to Infinix users’ smartphones to express their style and mood. This world’s
first innovation marks a huge step forward in technological breakthroughs for Infinix
and sets a new standard for smartphone leatherback covers.
Infinix seeks to improve the aesthetic experience of the modern-day smartphone
through the use of innovative materials and fresh new colours. With Future Light
Painting Leather technology, users can experience satisfying colour-changing as well
as custom patterns created by shading light on the back cover of their smartphones.
It introduces a unique way for our customers to interact with their smartphones and
to express themselves,” said Manfred Hong, Senior Product Director of Infinix.
Next-Level Smartphone Technology
Future Light-Painting Leather technology is a reversible colour change technology
that occurs when exposed to UV light. Infinix integrated photochromic polymers into
the leather, where the molecular structure changes in the presence of UV light which
causes the colour changes. When users take their devices back indoors, the leather
reverts to the original colour.
This is a passive colour-changing technology that does not require additional energy
from the smartphone to produce colour changes. It breaks the limitations of
traditional leather with a single colour and will bring a new look to smartphones with
two or multiple colour switches.

Light Paint Your Smartphone
The Future Light-Painting Leather is not only about the aesthetics but also about the
expression of the user’s personality. With this creative new feature, users are able to
use light to paint their smartphones and create different patterns on the back cover,
giving users endless possibilities to customize their devices.
Built to Last
The Future Light-Painting leather technology is a result of Infinix’s deep
understanding of their target consumers’ lifestyle, needs and preferences.
The development process lasted six months, and the engineers tested the leather
hundreds of times to achieve the desired effect. Infinix overcame the common issue
of leather yellowing by adjusting the leather structure, ensuring the leather’s colour
remained vibrant after extended use. Additionally, the back cover maintains a thin
profile in a complex structure, providing a comfortable grip for the user along with
strong protection against knocks and drops.
The Future Light-Painting Leather back cover will be available with future Infinix
devices, which will be announced accordingly with future media releases from
Infinix. Stay tuned.
