A Review on Modular Smartphones: Phonebloks
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
What would be the first thing which comes in mind when accidently your mobile falls on the solid floor and brakes up? Obviously! You would go to the repair shop and get your mobile repaired. But what if the camera gets damaged or broken? It cannot be repaired or replaced by other camera. The only choice which remains with you is buying a new mobile. So is it affordable to buy a whole new mobile for a single piece of damaged camera? Well! Its not. The same situation was faced by a Dutch designer named “Dave Hakkens”. His mobile’s camera was broken due to accidental fall of mobile, so he got an idea about why to replace the whole mobile, why not just the camera? Usually the mobile is integrated with various components in a single solid form. ”why not have a mobile whose parts can be replaced or swapped in or out, or need to be upgraded when broken?”, said Dave Hakkens. So he proposed the concept of modular mobiles termed as “PHONEBLOKS”[1]. According to him the phonebloks was a kind of mobile having a base on which all the detachable components like camera, processor, memory etc. will be mounted together, which can be unmounted when required. The concept of modular mobile will reduce the cost of buying the whole new for just a small piece of component.
