A phone worth keeping

Dave Hakkens has a simple goal. Try to make the world better by making better things. Phonebloks is a modular smartphone concept created and designed by Dave Hakkens, to reduce electronic waste. By attaching individual third-party components (called ‘bloks’) to a main board, a user can create a personalized smartphone. These bloks can be replaced if they break or if the user wishes to upgrade. This way your phone could last you a lifetime.
