Fonkrant is here to push the world of mobile to an advance level as the firm unveiled the world’s first modular smartphone. You might have heard about Google Ara project, this is much alike. While Google Ara is yet to surface, Fonkrant has taken a quick leap in occupying the empty space.
Fonkrant modular smartphone hardwares can be swapped, replaced, and upgraded to users liking. Unlike normal phones that come with fixed hardware component like camera, RAM, storage capacity, processor, battery, and screen, the Fonkrant modular will allow users to change or upgrade their phones hardware without soldering and wiring. All hardware components are mounted by default and can easily be unmount with a slide of a button, much like how it’s done on PC when you want to change the RAM.
