When it comes to modular mobile phones, the first impression should be Google's Project Ara, but after a long period of time, there is no news at all. Now, a new project named PuzzlePhone has appeared on the famous foreign crowdfunding website Indiegogo. It may become the first mass produced modular mobile phone in Finland with Nokia.
Compared with other modular mobile phones, PuzzlePhone has a very high design feasibility, which is divided into three parts:
Brain: CPU, GPU, RAM, ROM and main camera are all on this module, users can choose freely according to their own needs, and the update will be faster;
Spine: It is almost the skeleton of the whole mobile phone. The screen and some durable components are integrated in this module, and the update frequency is slow;
Heart: In short, a large battery plus some electronic components can be replaced by users at any time; (It is a replaceable battery design)
The known specific parameters are:
The three dimensions are 137x69x8.9mm and weigh 170g;
The system will be above Android 6.0 Marshmallow;
5 inch 1920 x 1080 screen, 2800mAh battery;
5 million in front, rear 12 million cameras+LED flash lights;
The processor only knows that it is ARM 64 bit 8-core, and the specific model is not clear (there may be different versions for users to choose);
3GB RAM+optional 16/32/64GB ROM;
Support 2G/3G/4G NFC、 Bluetooth 4.2 WiFI 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac and GPS, Use USB 3.0/2.0 Type-C interface;
There are different versions according to the size of the storage space. The price of 16G version crowdfunding is $333, which is limited to the top 250; 32G version is 444 dollars, limited to the top 500; The 64G version is a limited edition, which costs 777 dollars. It is the same as the 16G version, which is limited to the top 250.
The limited edition is also slightly different from the general version. There will be a machine number inside the machine body, a gold design, and high grid lettering on the back of the machine.
Friends who are interested in it can go to I would like to remind you that after successful crowdfunding, it will not be available until October 2016, but this time sounds much faster than Google's Project Ara.
