Build Your Own Smart Phone

It may sound hard to believe but Google, Motorola, and Phonebloks are teaming together to make a smart phone that is fully up-gradable. This is an aim they are taking to reduce electronic waste.

As announced by Moto X maker, both tech giants are finally revealing “Project Ara”, a modular hardware system that lets you build a phone with purchased parts. These parts can be swapped out and easily upgraded.

Project Ara is a unique attempt in reducing electronic waste. If you break your screen there is no need in replacing the phone, you can just pull it off it get a new screen. Want more storage and processing power? Buy bigger and faster modules. There is no need to spend hundreds of dollars on a completely new phone!

This is going to be the biggest thing yet in the cellular industry.
