Rumor have it that Facebook is developing a Modularsmartphone as a patent application filled by the company reveals that they may be working on a device that can be used as a phone.
Though Modular smartphones have always been an interesting idea although it seems that nobody has turned the idea into reality yet, with the latest attempt Google’s Project Ara being cancelled last year.
Funny enough, most of the behind Project Ara went to Facebook, though and now they work at Facebook Building 8 - the lab that is responsible for the patent application.
The device can be used as both as something like an Alexa speaker as well as a phone but the patent application also states that components of the device can be swapped out and different software could be loaded depending on the used components.
