Mobile phones have come a long way since their inception. Technology has advanced tremendously during this time, so today we can put everything in a smartphone for which we once needed even a desk space. Along with technological progress and trends, the size of mobile phones has also changed. At first, this steadily declined until the point when touch screens or smartphones began to appear. Since then, the size curve has gone up again. Now it seems we have found the perfect one? Are we really?

Before the advent of smartphones, which, hand to heart, are as similar as an egg to an egg, the mobile landscape was not so monotonous. It's so hard to find a really ugly phone these days, but if we go back just a few years, we have a whole series of them. And if today the struggle takes place mainly on the price-quality relation, once there was so much more experimentation with design. And as in fashion, there were hiccups.

This is exactly what the Fonkraft modular mobile phone, aimed at the widest range of people, did, collecting funds on Indiegogo and literally racing towards the goal of 50 thousand US dollars.

If you've lost count of how many Fonepads Asus has already released, you're not the only one. There's nothing wrong with that, because Asus is just pushing the limits of tablets with which you can also make calls, further and further.
