Obviously $18m isn't enough to do a credible modern phone that's modular. Google couldn't bring one to market after investing probably at least an order of magnitude more in Project Ara. Plus the OS would be an even bigger challenge. So it must be something simpler and leverages some of their existing investments and know-how. But since this is VC money, the addressable market also needs to be big enough to be interesting. I'm thinking a modular version of the Steam Deck.
- retrochameleon 2y agoI have a steam deck and I'm already pretty satisfied with it though. It's reasonably repairable, the devs seem to listen to the community, and it's already a linux-based device I can essentialy do whatever I want with.
