Tired of planned obsolescence turning your pocket tech into e-waste? Introducing a next-gen modular phone built for longevity and Modding!
This project aims to disrupt the cycle of yearly phone upgrades by embracing a fully modular design. The core idea is simple: a phone where key components – think CPU, camera, battery, display – can be easily swapped out and upgraded as needed.
Whether you prefer the convenience of a pre-built model or the satisfaction of building your own from the ground up, this concept offers both. The beauty lies in using readily available, off-the-shelf parts, making repairs and future upgrades accessible to everyone. Forget specialized tools and proprietary components!
Imagine a phone that evolves with your needs, where a battery nearing its end doesn't mean a trip to the recycling bin for the whole device. Instead, pop in a new one. Want a camera with better low-light performance in a few years? Just upgrade that module.
This isn't just about reducing e-waste (though that's a huge win!). It's about empowering users to take control of their technology, fostering a culture of repair and modification. We're envisioning a platform where you can truly own and maintain your device for years to come.

I have been wanting an open source phone for some time (at least 2009), so this looks very interesting!
