(Before It's News)

A few weeks ago, we featured a story on the PuzzlePhone, a modular smartphone in the same vein as Project Ara but with fewer swappable parts. The Indiegogo campaign for the PuzzlePhone is now live and now we can see more details about the device. Spec-wise, the device is going to be using an unspecified octa-core ARM 64-bit processor, 3GB RAM, 16/32/64GB storage variants, 5-inch 1080p display and 2,800mAh battery. It will also run Android Marshmallow, and suggests it will be updated in the future.

In terms of pricing, as expected, the base device called the “1st Edition” will be available for $333 USD which will net you the 16GB version of the device. For reference, you’ll need to jump up to $546 USD to get the 64GB version, and if you’re particularly game, you can also get the Indiegogo Limited Edition for $777 USD which includes the 64GB version of the device, special copper detailing and an engraved special edition plate on the device.

One thing I was surprised to see as part of the introductory video was that the modules need to be secured with screws – I had assumed there would be a locking mechanism built into the modules. regardless, I’m interested to see whether the project makes it to the end – with 38 days left, the project has made $61,675 of its $250,000 USD target, however it has flexible funding meaning the project will get all money that is pledged to them regardless of making the target or not. If you’re interested, we have the campaign link for you below.
