Given how well the crowd has responded to Google's Project Ara modular smartphone, it's no wonder others have taken the modular bait. And if it has been adopted by the masses, how do you bring such an expensive phone as close as possible to that mass? The answer is in the palm of your hand. Through a crowdfunding campaign. 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.
A modular smartphone Fonkraft it is the first modular mobile phone, which everyone can afford. The basic version of the smartphone with 5-inch sliding screen resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, Fonkraft Pilot, will be available already for recalculated 90 euros. For the most expensive, Fonkraft Elements, which will have the modules of all the other models attached, you will have to pay approx. 270 American Greens.
All in all, it will be significantly cheaper than Google's Project Ara modular smartphone, who is with module exchange technology inspired the first modular smartphone "for paradise" while in use and without rebooting.

The basic "package", i.e. Fonkraft Pilot comes with dual-core processor, 8 GB of built-in and 1 GB of system memory, battery with capacity 3100 mAh, a digital camera with a resolution of 8 million pixels and a webcam that will count six million less. For mid-priced models- Resolution (for those who appreciate photography) and HiFi (for those who appreciate music)- who are on Indiegogo available for 180 euros, you will get a higher screen resolution (1920 x 1080), a more powerful processor (quad-core processor clocked at 2.5 GHz), more built-in memory (64 GB), and a higher-class camera (resolution of 20 million pixels). But if they have improved intellectually, they have "neglected" a bit, because the battery "only" has 2800 mAh (it is also available with 2100 mAh). It will also be possible to order completely your combination, and the first phones will already be sent to homes around the world September 2015.
