We have been using phones since very long and there are no counts for phones that we have already replaced for a newer and a better version. With every new phone bought, an older phone get piled up as a waste. So, what if we replace modules of the phone, instead of the whole phone. As if, we replace the Operating System of the phone for a better one instead of replacing the whole phone. "PhoneBlok" bases its idea on the same.

A phone worth Keeping
|
They visioned a phone built on blocks. A separate block for OS,camera,bluetooth,wifi ...
Something that has been thought by
PhoneBlok was already thought of and worked on by
Motorola. Motorola has been working on this idea for over a year and they call this project, "Project Ara". The company that made the first mobile phone plans to make the phone worth keeping. With 40 years of experience developing phones, they have been working on this project and are keen to provide what all of us want. They plan to build a phone that is modular, open-source, designed to last, made for the entire world.

Phone built from module
|
PhoneBlok and Motorola both will be working hand on hand to develop this phone. Usually, companies develop product behind closed doors and only reveal the product when they finish. Motorola has committed to develop the phone in the open, they will be taking suggestions and ideas from people like us from the PhoneBlok community,
Motorola will also soon be releasing a module developers kit so that companies, startups and developers can begin with prototyping blocks.
