That's a step in the right direction, hopefully in the future phones will be more like computers, where you can buy parts and build your own. At least that'd be my dream.
Years ago google was looking at doing a modular phone. It was basically a frame with modules on the back that contained the battery, storage, cameras, and even the processor. The screen was even replaceable in a similar way. I really want someone to do another project ara.
I remember that, I liked the idea except for Google being involved. The dream would be a fully modular phone running Linux. I don't ever see that becoming a reality, but hey.
Right, getting a Linux phone to work well still hasn't been achieved, let alone on modular hardware!
