Phonebloks

Please, revive this idea

We saw this again before GTA 6😮

this is so cool, and very much a need

i NEED THIS

I want that phone

Seems something framework would do

11 Years Later

2024 still waiting for this miracle phone 😢

lightphone 3 probably got some inspiration there

2025 y nunca paso

Lets bring back Phoneblocks!

Now the world needs this concept 😮

The concept: 😊
The hardware engineers and software engineers: ☠️☠️☠️

Google bought them and proceeded to bury the idea deep into the ground; they were scared of the implication that these developers might make a product that rivals theirs

Google’s Project Ara, inspired by the Phonebloks concept, was canceled due to several key reasons. *1. Technical Challenges* – Creating a truly modular phone required seamless swapping of parts like the battery, camera, and processor, but early prototypes had reliability and performance issues. *2. Market and Industry Issues* – Manufacturers didn’t support the idea since they rely on selling new phones, and modular components don’t perform as well as integrated ones. *3. Low Consumer Interest* – Most users preferred slim, seamless phones rather than bulky ones with detachable parts. *4. Cost and Complexity* – Modular phones would have been more expensive due to custom connectors, software compatibility, and engineering challenges. *5. Google’s Shift in Focus* – Google moved its attention to Pixel phones, AI, and software-driven advancements, leading to the quiet cancellation of Project Ara in 2016. Although fully modular smartphones never took off, some ideas survived in *Fairphone* (a partially modular, repairable phone) and *Moto Mods* (modular accessories for Motorola phones, which also faded). Ultimately, modular phones were an innovative idea, but real-world technology, business models, and user preferences made them impractical.

Google can't make the phone more eco friendly but I can do that more easily than you thing

After 11 years I am still waiting for it
WHERE IS IT?

There was a lot of interest in the phone but google killed it.

This could have been framework for phones

The best idea out of this is the mass submission marketing tactic.

WE ALL NEED THIS

But what if the base breaks?

I think Nothing Phone would be the best host of this concept 🔥 They should buy it from Google.

Honestly i’m sad that this phone didn’t make it to today

What you should do is remake the concept and put it for sale on your site
Let go of google, they are lazy, and greedy people.
Just- Like litteraly, take everything of your concept :
Screen upgrading, speed upgrading, camera upgrading, bigger storage unit, bigger speaker, better battery, Wi-fi and more !
For the phone you should select on your site how the user can choose the blocks they want.
E.G : You can choose between an old screen, making it so that it has edges lines, or just, a new screen, no edge lines !
But seriously dude, don't give up. Millions of people want it.
And think about the profit you'll earn !
...Please.
Just do it, continue your Phonebloks project.

Thank you for reading this

22 million people came and watched this video the market is there

This is so good! It's like PC. But it's not happened and we still use disposable phones(

Crowd funding?

Is anyone in 2025?

I hope elon musk will make this project

imagine this but bigger

❤ We need it. Our planet needs it. ❤

are you aware of the tmobile patent from 15ish years ago that almost accomplishes the same? They later turned it into "hello moto"

WHY DID YOU SELL OUT

How would this not just create more e-waste? You'll be constantly throwing out components in favor of newer, better ones.

It's the big 25, and we need this!

Anyone in April 2025

this reminds me of phonebloks

With current technology this is perfectly possible, However, no large company would invest in it, they need planned obsolescence to continue selling.

Today mark the year 2025 it’s sad that such great projects are dead

What if you dropped it is the blok gonna remove or what

after 11 years this still didn't come out :(

I was interested to make phone like this, hopefully InsyaALLAH,i was intrest to make handheld game for my children,but i don't wanna them to on internet (fully offline) unless they already high school

If they already high school i just need to change it so they can use the wifi/sim card mode
