PHONEBLOCKS

Today, a mobile phone lasts a couple of years before it breaks or becomes obsolete. And even though it’s often just one part that is broken or making the phone slow, we end up throwing the whole thing away.

This is often because mobile phones are near impossible to repair and pretty much impossible to upgrade. Here at Phonebloks, we would like to change this.

Phonebloks started out as an idea for a mobile phone made up of detachable modules, called ‘bloks’. If one blok breaks or becomes obsolete, for example your phone is getting slow, you simply replace the ‘processor’ blok to increase your phones speed, keeping all the other bloks. This reduces waste by not having to throw away parts of your phone that are in perfect working order.

And it turns out, we were not the only ones to have this idea. Motorola, now owned by Google, have been working on a similar idea for a modular phone called Project Ara. Motorola share our vision that a mobile phone should be open source, designed to last and made for the entire world.
