Remember the well-liked Phonebloks? We were inspired by the Phonebloks concept phone that had the ability to switch out a phone’s components the way most users change ringtones. Well, people over at Google and Motorola decided to make the concept bigger and came up with a brilliant new phone, Called Project Ara.
Soon after the official announcement about Lenovo’s getting hold of of Motorola while Project Ara was still only in conceptual phase, a word got out on the fate of the Project Ara modular phone. Motorola’s Advanced Technology group which developed the device, as well as its patents will remain with Google and we would positively love to see a customised phone.
Thus Phonebloks is Now a reality Called Project Ara by Google

Project Ara, the advanced Technology and Products group is working with Phonebloks creator Dave Hakkens on an "endoskeleton (endo) and modules." Announced about 3 months ago on the company blog by Paul Eremenko, the company says it's already "done deep technical work" and is opening the process up to the community and volunteers (aka Ara Scouts, sign up here) to commence n designing hardware modules. Its known goal is to do for hardware what it says Android has done for software: create a vibrant third-party developer ecosystem, lower the barriers to entry, increase the speed of innovation, and considerably compress development timelines."

Suggestions for modules include the phone's CPU, display, extra battery, external sensors or whatever thing anyone can think of. The timeline at present points to a Module Developer's Kit (MDK) release this winter, while those volunteers can expect an exclusive discount when the product launches and the 100 most active are getting free phones. Hakkens has described his design as a "phone worth keeping" -- with the capability to upgrade piece by piece and (optimistically) never experience obsolescence again we'd call this idea a phone certainly worth building.

According to people well-known with the subject, the division behind Project Ara will be integrated within the Android team at Google. The team of approximately one hundred people will make a short trip to relocate from Sunnyvale to Google’s offices in Mountain View, California.

Going forward, work on Project Ara will pick up the pace using Google’s extensive resources. We will be keeping a close observation on any kind of development.

Phonebloks, The Phone of Future.

So here i am back with my blog,i was somewhat busy with my mid-term submissions in college.
Engineering is not so easing, the practicals, the submissions, exams, viva, man this really sucks sometimes.  

Now leaving all those not so important things aside we should continue to our post. Recently Apple unveiled the new iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c. iPhone 5s has a promising future technology of fingerprint scanner which may prove a milestone in the mobile technology, but is this the phone of future, I don’t believe so.  Do you want to know what is the phone of future, if yes, keep reading.

Meet Phonebloks, The Phone of Future.

Have a look at the video at the end of post.(Strictly Recommended).

Phonebloks is made of removable bloks. You can connect the bloks to the base which puts everything together into a brand new solid phone. If a blok gets damage you can easily replace it, if it's out dated then you can just upgrade it. Impressive huh!

Phoneblocks is somewhat an eco-friendly future phone which is based on a really simple concept: we are wasting too much when it comes to gadgets,  A usual phone lasts only a few years before it becomes out dated or it breaks. Many a times it's just one part which wasted the phone, because either its almost impossible to repair or updgrade or very expensive.

As a result, we're throwing away mobile phones in big amount, which can harm our environment big time.

So What’s the solution for this, Make The Way For Phonebloks

Instead of replacing your whole phone just because the camera is not working anymore or the screen got cracked while you phone slipped out of your hand, Phonebloks allows you to just buy a replacement part and keep the rest of the phone that is working up to your mark.

This Phone also has huge ways for future upgrades.

Instead of throwing out the iPhone 5 to upgrade to the iPhone 5c or the iPhone 5s, for example, just buy the new processor from Apple and a cool new coloured case. Rather than sticking to a 41-megapixel, Nokia Lumia 1020 camera, just buy one blok and stick it onto the base.

And the best part is, You can totally customise your own smart phone : Every device will be the same but different in their own manners. Don’t care about storage customise to a bigger battery. Want more Speed and less camera,Buy a better blok for processor! And there infinite options.

It's a simple yet brilliant concept, but unfortunately, it's really a challenge for the mobile providers.

It means that all the providers must first need to agree on a standard for making phones are universal unlike iPhone 5s using nano SIM where everyone else is using a micro SIM.

It would also require providers to surrender their uniqueness, which companies like Apple pride themselves on.

I pray that the concept of Phoneblocks remains out there long enough that it can be a company itself, rather than trying to bring all providers under one roof which is almost impossible.

When the Phonebloks becomes a reality I will definitely go for it.
