Phonebloks is a modular smartphone concept created by Dave Hakkens that allows users to customize their phone by replacing modules as needed. It consists of a base unit with connectors that various modules called "bloks" can plug into to add functions like cameras, batteries, or speakers. This modular design aims to reduce waste by allowing users to upgrade specific components rather than replacing the entire phone. Motorola has partnered with Hakkens on a similar concept called Project Ara, which uses an "endoskeleton" base and modules that slide in. This approach could deliver even greater customization and lower barriers for third-party developers. The ultimate goal is a platform that empowers users to have precise control over the components

KEEPING

2. INTRODUCTION TO
PHONEBLOKS
PHONEBLOKS is a longerlasting, customizable, modular Smartphone
built out of interchangeable modules.
WHAT IS PHONE BLOKS??
 The
Phonebloks is exactly what the name
suggests-- a phone made out of detachable
blocks.

3. DEVELOPED BY:

The concept was created by Dutch designer
Dave Hakkens with an idea that came about as
a means of reducing electronic waste.
MAIN MOTTO:
1.
2.
3.
4.
MODULAR
OPEN-SOURCE
DESIGNED TO LAST
MADE FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD

4. HOW DOES THIS
WORK??
EACH
DEVICE
CONSISTS
OF TWO
PARTS:
1)Base
2)Bloks (with
connecting
pins)

5. HOW DOES THIS WORK?? [cont.]
Each device consists of a motherboard drilled
with holes called base.
 Phonebloks would consist of replaceable
modules are called bloks.
 The holes in the motherboard contain electrical
connectors, which form a circuit with the
conductive pins of the bloks, creating a fully
functional — and fully upgradeable — phone.


6. CONCEPT OF PHONEBLOKS?
It’s essentially
a very similar
concept to the
way we
upgrade our
PCs.
For instance,
If you are
someone that
does everything in
the cloud, why not
replace the
storage Blok with
a bigger battery
Blok.

7. CONCEPT OF PHONEBLOKS?[cont.]
If you are someone who
loves to take picture
then, why not upgrade your
camera
Or if you don’t care about any
of this stuff you can keep it
simple and get a bigger
speaker

8. BLOKSTORE
bloks would be
available in
Blokstore, "an app store
for hardware" where
users could buy new
and used bloks as well
as sell back their old
ones. Smartphones
based on the
Phonebloks system
would be sold part by
part, as well as in starter
sets.

9. PHONEBLOKS: A FULLY CUSTOMIZABLE
MOBILE PHONE, DESIGNED TO LAST.
Phonebloks is the new generation mobile phone
which can be modified to its fullest extent.
 The main Advantage of having a modular phone
is that you can customize your phone.
 You have the power to decide what your phone
does, how it looks, where and what it’s made of,
how much it costs, and how long you’ll keep it.
 With Phonebloks, customers would need to buy
only the bloks they actually require for “A phone
worth keeping”.


11. Taking it to a whole new level!
To gain more support Dave Hakkens has
collaborated with Motorola on Project Ara, a
more practical modular Smartphone system.
 Project Ara's approach involves two types of
components, a basic skeleton (what Motorola
calls an "ENDO", short for "endoskeleton") and "
MODULES " that slide into the endo. The
modules could theoretically be anything from
multiple batteries to additional displays or
keyboards.


12. PROJECT ARA
Main aim:
1.
To create a vibrant
third-party
developer
ecosystem
2.
To lower the
barriers to entry
3.
To increase the
pace of innovation
4.
To substantially
compress
development
timelines.

13. MODULE
DEVELOPER KIT
Motorola with Hakkens
and the Phonebloks
community, announced
that it would launch a
Module Developer Kit
(MDK) and prototype
hardware by this
winter, to allow
Smartphone developers
to begin tinkering with
the “hackable”
hardware.

14. CONCLUSION
Is a good way to prevent electronic waste.
 ™You can upgrade your phone with any latest
and high capacity modules anytime.
™
Has the fullest advantage of its features to the
user.
™
Multiple
companies
work
on
single
product, unlike single company working on
multiple products and hence deliver the purest
product to the customer.
In The End Presenting Us The Ultimate
Phone Platform
