When you hear “modular smartphone”, most people would immediately think about Project Ara, a modular smartphone project that is currently under Google’s wing in development. However, it looks like there’s a new kid on the block – and that kid’s name is PuzzlePhone. Unlike Project Ara, which appears to allow as many interchangeable modules as you like as long as they fit on the device, the PuzzlePhone offers only three customizable parts – the Spine, the Brain, and the Heart (see below).
The PuzzlePhone is going to be available starting at €299 (or $330 USD) when its Indiegogo campaign starts on November 3rd, with an expected retail price of €599 ($661 USD) when the campaign is over. That’s kind of a good deal for what is undoubtedly going to be one of the first modular smartphones, if not the first, when it is delivered sometime in Q3/Q4 2016 – whether or not they meet that target and whether the device works as intended is an entirely different story. We don’t have many more details than that (we’re assuming it runs Android), but no doubt everything will be revealed when the campaign goes live – you can sign up for updates on the PuzzlePhone website.
