Everyday we throw away
millions of electronic devices
because they get old
and become worn out
But usually
it's only one of the components
that causes the problem.
The rest of the device works fine
but is needlessly thrown away.
(Not enough storage)
Simply because
Electronic devices
are not designed to last
This makes electronic waste
one of the fastest growing
waste streams in the world.
And our phone
is one of the biggest causes
So this is a new kind of phone
It's made of blocks.
Detachable blocks.
They're all connected to the base
and the base connects everything together.
Electrical signals
are transferred through the pins,
and two small screws
lock everything in place.
So if for instance
your phone is getting a little slow,
you could just upgrade the block
that affects the speed
or if something breaks
you can easily replace it with a new one
or update it
with the newest version.
Another great thing about this is
You can customize your phone
So let's say this is your phone
and you do everything in the cloud.
Why not replace your storage block
for a bigger battery block.
If you are like this guy
and love to take pictures,
why not upgrade your camera?
Or if you don't care about any of this stuff
you can keep it simple
and get a bigger speaker.
You can choose the blocks you want,
support the brands you like,
or even develop your own blocks.
Phonebloks is built on an open platform
where companies work together
to create the best phone in the world.
To set up this platform
we need to get the right companies
and the right people involved.
They will only get started
if there is a lot interest
in a phone worth keeping.
So this is the plan.
To show them there is an interest
for this phone
we need your voice.
You can donate your social reach on the website.
We gather as much people as possible.
On the 29th of October
we send out the blast.
All at the same time.
Spreading all your voices,
to show the world,
there is a need
for a phone worth keeping
The more people involved,
the bigger the impact.
Please visit Phonebloks.com
to raise your voice and spread the word.
