There are a few months, Dave Hakkens, a designer just out of college had a revolutionary concept of flexible smartphone to fight against planned obsolescence. Motorola has announced a similar project and account join Dave to develop.

The Phonebloks, the concept of a dialed parts to assemble or even. The goal is simple, this system allows you to change the look of desire in a smartphone and replace only the damaged part rather than discard and replace the whole unit. All elements are articulated and connect around a motherboard, processor and block connectors.

To get there, Dave had made ​​the observation of the reign of the scheduled implementation by manufacturers obsolescence. A phone now lasts a few years before it breaks or becomes obsolete. Although this is often a part is damaged, then it is discarded, because it is almost impossible to repair or improve. Thus, according to him must Phonebloks an alternative model where the life of a phone would be greatly extended.

This collaboration should be born a new smartphone model fully customizable. Future owners will be able to design their own phone to their liking , while taking care to optimize gradually according to the evolution of technology .

Motorola has announced that invitations would be sent in the coming months to developers so they can start creating modules. An alpha version of the main platform of the phone could be made this winter.

Each component of Phonebloks ( battery , camera, etc. . ) Consists of a "block" that can be dissociated from the phone and replace at will. The formula now attracted the big names in the sector since Motorola has announced plans to release his own Phoneblocks , called Ara .

When Motorola announced the Ara project on October 28 , the company has also expressed his great ambitions. The idea is outright " do to the phone that Google 's Android system has made ​​to the software ."
