INTRODUCTION

 The master mind behind the concept

Phonebloks .
dutch designer DAVE HAKKENS

CONCEPT

First look of phonebloks

Companies working
With the idea
Of
Phonebloks

HARDWARE

Modular designs of phonebloks are based upon

three concepts.
1.Lower barriers to entry.
2.Increase the pace of innovation.
3.Substantially compress development timelines.
Every blocks are connected to the base.
Each block has a designated place labeled with a symbol of
its function.
Contains blocks such as camera , memory , speakers ,
battery etc.

SOFTWARE

Software not revealed yet.

The most voted being ANDROID OS.
Even planning to develop a new Phoneblok OS.

FUTURE

 Already working with Motorola advanced technologies called

Project ARA.

What
Is
Project ARA?

How it works?

Project ARA has two core component:

Three technologies that will make project ARA work:

UniPro

UniPro is a high speed internet protocol that project ARA uses to allow
its modules to speak to each other.
They share a common low level language for communicating and
building a network.
Project ARA is tapping into the latest UniPRO 1.6 SPEC
Which offer high-bandwidth, and low power connections between the
modules.

Capacitive M-PHY

A physical layer spec which is developed by MIPI alliance and made to

work with UniPro.
For project ARA, M-PHY is a capacitive interface, which means that the
points wont be worn down over time from swapping modules in and
out of the phone.
M-PHY is requiring less pins and providing more bandwidth per pin
with improved power efficiency.

Electro-permanent Magnets

Electropermanent magnets are used for affixing the modules in place in

the ENDO.
Normal Electromagnets magnetize depending on if current is running
through them that would be a battery drain.
But Electropermanent magnets only use current to flip magnetization on
and off.
It is able to retain its magnetized state without draining additional
power.
