Phonebloks a Modular Phone

Phonebloks is an idea for a modular phone that is 100% customizable. It all started a little over a year ago in early September of 2014 by a person named Dave Hakkens, all because he wanted to reduce E-Waste.

Phonebloks is a totally customizable phone that is made of modular pieces. One person might want a really good camera, so they can just get a really clear and good camera. Or if someone wants more storage, they can just get a large storage block

The first video introducing Phonebloks went viral within hours and the original goal of 500 supporters quickly was passed and got over a 1000 supporters.

Creator of Phonebloks, Dave Hakkens, says, “it was never our goal to set up a new phone company, we believe it that much more impact can change their minds over existing companies."

Phonebloks has definitely impacted other companies, the biggest one being Android. Android's Project Ara is a phone that follows the idea of PhoneBloks and is made of modular pieces. 

Project Ara will be released the first quarter of 2015. The actual date has not been announced, but you can expect a conference in January which will announce the official release date.
