A Phone Worth Keeping ?




THE PROBLEM
A phone only lasts a couple of years before it breaks or becomes obsolete. Although it's often just one part that killed it, we throw everything away because it's almost impossible to repair or upgrade.

DESIGNED TO LAST

Phoneblok is made of detachable bloks. The bloks are connected to the base which locks everything together into a solid phone. If a blok breaks you can easily replace it; if it's getting old just upgrade.

BLOKSTORE

It's like an app store for hardware. In the store you buy your bloks, read reviews and sell old bloks. Small and big companies develop and sell their bloks. You can buy a pre-assembled phone or assemble it yourself by selecting the brands you want to support. The choice is yours.

MAKE IT YOUR PHONE

OTHER DEVICES

The platform can be adapted into other sizes to create new devices like tablets, cameras etc.

ACCESSORIES

Keeping your phone also means you can keep your accessories. No new docks, covers or cables.

SUBSCRIPTIONS

Get a subscription so you don't get outdated. Receive a new blok every now and then to stay updated. Install it and send back the old one.

YOU CHOOSE

Looking for a camera blok? Choose the brand you like. Prefer the sharp Nikon, the fast Canon or support a startup company? The choice is yours.

MADE BY THE USERS

Bloks can be developed for specific needs. Solar powered batteries, sensitive screen for blind people, lightweight for travelers etc.
