The future of smart phones? Modular phone list

2024-10-07 22:01:05

This year, with the LG flagship G5 adopting a modular design, and previously led the trend of Google Project Ara prototype appeared, coupled with motorcycle Moto Z reportedly will also join the modular elements, it seems that the future of smart phones is Modular? This time we will not discuss the pros and cons of the modular design, to see what are the unique secrets of the current modular phone.

LG G5

The LG G5 is the first flagship handset with modular design introduced by mainstream manufacturers. Although it belongs to the G series, the appearance does not inherit the characteristics of previous models. The feature is its replaceable chin. At present, LG has introduced two modules for the G5, namely CAM Plus and Hi-Fi Plus for audio entertainment.

As the first equipment for early adopters, the problem naturally exists. For example, the problem of mold workmanship makes the chin and the fuselage cut more clearly, and the primer of the metal fuselage is like plastic by everyone. It is undeniable that in the current launch of the Android machine, the G5's playability is indeed high.

Project Ara

Project Ara, once ardent, had whipped up the concept of modular design, but it has not been seen until now. Fortunately, this did not become a "live year" series. In I/O 2016, Google announced that it will launch the developer version of Project Ara in the fourth quarter of 2016, and its prototype was also exposed through various channels.

From the exposure diagram of the prototype, we can see that the basic design of the original restoration has been restored, and the degree of personalization is very high. It gives people a feeling that Google wants to do an artwork rather than a simple electronic product. It is just that the relevant hardware configuration has not been explained by Google. I do not know if I can achieve the current flagship model level.

Fairphone 2

The Fairphone, which is not known as the black-hearted business, realizes modularization of all parts earlier than Google's Project Ara. All Fairphone 2 modules are fixed by screws. It is easy to disassemble the entire mobile phone with a screwdriver. Is it a sense of Lego toys? ?

The configuration SoC uses Snapdragon 801, 2G RAM+32G ROM, 5-inch 1080P screen and 800-megapixel camera, supporting dual SIM dual standby. The Fairphone 2 is composed of only 7 modules. It can replace cameras, motherboards, screen modules, etc. However, the body thickness is 11mm. This kind of data and top hardware configuration are also caused by the insistence on modular design.

PuzzlePhone

With Nokia's hometown PuzzlePhone relatively more like a normal smart phone, divided only into Brain, Spine and Heart three parts, it seems that the feasibility of the entire design is quite high. The known configuration has a 5-inch 1920x1080 screen, a front-mounted 5 million rear-mounted 12 million camera, 3G RAM+16/32/64G ROM, but the most important SoC parameter is unclear, and the 8-core 64-bit ARM processor selection range is too large. .

The measurements are 137x69x8.9mm and weigh 170g. This data is not very good-looking. Now PuzzlePhone is still crowdfunding on Indiegogo. It is just that the situation is a little short-lived and we don't know if we can successfully accomplish the goal.

Moto Z

Moto Z, which is expected to be released later, is also being released one after another. The most intriguing thing is naturally how the motorcycle, which is a veteran manufacturer, understands modular design.

In the news, Moto Z rumored that in addition to the ordinary color cover, there are various modules customized by motorcycles and third-party manufacturers. The first-party supporting module that Motorola is responsible for is said to have stereo speakers, battery modules, camera modules with optical zoom, pico projectors, and wide-angle lens accessories. The richness of the module is better than that of LG. It is only the problems that appear on the G5. Can the motorcycle be well solved?

The traditional mobile phone manufacturers LG and Moto have poured their ideas on modular design into new machines and want to roll up new waves in the trend of smartphones; the ideas of emerging companies Fairphone and PuzzlePhone are more aggressive and aggressive; Googleâ€™s Projcet Ara Bounce tickets have been long, but it is still a model for modular phones. But in terms of products, the leader of the G5 highlights a lot of problems caused by the modular design, Fairphone 2, PuzzlePhone that volume reminiscent of a few years ago cumbersome smart phone image, the unreleased Moto Z is not clear how the performance Does Projcet Ara achieve the height of the original concept? Perhaps just as a flash in the past, Modular mobile phones may be just a dream.
