Circular Devices is working on a modular smartphone with three parts, drastically simplifying the concept brought up by companies like Google.
It’s called the Puzzlephone and it has three main parts.* The processing part contains the all-important CPU, the battery and secondary electronics, and of course the camera for all things selfies and sharing.* Unlike Google’s Project Ara, the Puzzlephone is something a lot of can cope with when it comes to replacing or upgrading parts.* Although the concept takes away a bit from the customization portion, often times simplicity helps make or break a project.
Circular Devices have already secured a significant amount of funding for its Puzzlephone project, and the phone may be available as early as the second half of 2015.* Google’s Android will be the OS of choice, so we’re not expecting Circular Devices to disrupt the mobile game in a drastic way.
Should the project actually take off and make a dent in the mobile universe, we would expect Circular Devices to put heavy emphasis on the Puzzlephone’s skeleton.* Meaning, we expect it to have a high end display that will the device the go to handset for years to come.* There’s no future proofing in the fast paced world of handsets, but it doesn’t hurt Circular Device to focus on the core features.
There are no exact pricings yet for the Puzzlephone.* However, there will be variations to choose from once Circular Devices is ready to release them.
