Facebook Modular Phone Going to be a Reality!

0

We first heard the concept of a modular phone from Google a few years back, when they announced the Project Ara. Project Ara featured a team of people who were behind developing a modular phone. However, the Project Ara was later dropped by Google and most of the team members at Project Ara were later hired by Facebook and started working at the famous “Facebook Building 8” research lab.

Since then, rumors of a Facebook-made modular phone have been making rounds. Even though we did not have any solid pieces of evidence to back this, it now seems like Facebook is indeed working on building a modular phone after all!

The evidence comes in the form of a patent application that was filed by Facebook for a device that can also be used as a phone. The device is supposed to be used as a speaker for Alexa or a phone and the device can also run different software depending on the components that are attached to the phone.

Even though Facebook has not given any official comments on the patent application or the possibility of a Facebook modular phone, sources claim that the team working in Facebook Building 8 is focused on the development of high-end camera and machine learning as well.
