Samsung has developed a new technology that will allow using water as "fuel" for your phones, i.e. a water-powered battery.

Here's how it works: water contacts a metal plate - this will create hydrogen. Then hydrogen goes into a fuel cell, where it reacts with oxygen and generates electrical energy. This reaction can generate up to 3 watts of power, which is enough for a cell phone.

One can get the Soul for €400 (~$632). Here are some of its key features:

• 5Mpix AF camera with face detection and image stabilization;
• 7.
