“Discover Tecno’s Starry Optical Fiber technology, featuring a dazzling battery cover for the Tecno V Flip 2 with optical fibers and mini-LEDs, offering stunning visuals and practical benefits
Tecno has really outdone itself with the Starry Optical Fiber technology, giving phone design a whole new level of flair. Imagine a phone cover that looks like it belongs in a Las Vegas light show – that’s what Tecno has achieved with the battery cover for the Tecno V Flip 2. This isn’t just any ordinary backplate; it’s a dazzling display of optical fibers and mini-LEDs that turns your phone into a pocket-sized light show.
The Build
The magic behind this cover lies in its intricate manufacturing process, which involves 30 unique techniques. It features 150 ultrathin optical fibers, each just 0.125mm in diameter, paired with 108 mini-LEDs. The result? A “fabric-like” texture on the phone’s rear surface that creates a shimmering, dynamic light display. Tecno has designed this cover with four distinct lighting modes – Tidal Waves, Rosy Sunset, Aurora, and Weekend Dusk – each inspired by natural phenomena. These modes aren’t just for show; they can sync with sound, making the experience even more immersive.
But it’s not all about looks. The layout of the fibers and LEDs helps dissipate heat more effectively, which is a practical bonus for modern smartphones. Plus, Tecno assures users that this technology is energy-efficient and won’t drain your battery life.
This innovation is a testament to Tecno’s expertise in Color, Materials, and Finish (CMF), something they’ve consistently demonstrated with devices like the Phantom V Fold 2 and Camon 30 Premier. By pushing the boundaries of materials and design, Tecno continues to stand out in the mobile industry.
The Reveal
Although Tecno previewed the Starry Optical Fiber at CES 2025, the official unveiling is set for MWC 2025 in March. There, they’ll showcase the full capabilities of this concept, and we can’t wait to see it in action.
Tecno’s Starry Optical Fiber is a bold step toward making everyday devices exciting again. It might seem a bit gimmicky, but in a world where most smartphones look the same, this kind of design innovation is both welcome and refreshing. For those who love a blend of futuristic tech and artistic design, Tecno’s shimmering battery cover is a must-see.
