Here's the presentation...
Let me preface my comments by saying I know pretty much zero about engineering and hardware.
I've seen this posted by several friends on Facebook who rave about what a genius idea it is.
Is this anyway plausible? On a smartphone isn't each piece built to specifically work with each other to keep size down? And if you want to put in a larger camera wouldn't you have to shift all the other components on the base as well unless you had a bunch of empty spaces?
I don't see the environmental benefits when the phone looks about twice as big a current smartphone that people use for a couple of years, then sell, where it's then used for another year or two. How much of our landfill space is being taken up by smartphone waste? And after a few years wouldn't each of the components on this Phonebloks unit be upgraded which means stuff is still getting thrown out (plus the packaging).
Oh, and what if you drop it?
It just seems to me like it's all just idealism without any regard to practicality or engineering reality.
