At times we talk about features you would like or we could see in controversial large party devices, and once the device never announced not everyone is happy. What if anyone could build their own device? In this the Google based on the Project Ara, the ambitious plan for flip smartphone.

However, Google is not the only one to be released smartphone that you can build whatever you want and upgrade whenever you want. A Finnish company, Circular Devices creates its own alternative smartphone called Puzzlephone and divided into three main parts. The so-called Spine (spine) has the LCD, speakers and basic construction, the Heart (heart) has the secondary battery and electronic parts and the Brain (brain) that has the processor and the modules for the camera.

The company was formally established in September in the city Espoo, from where comes and Nokia, and is working on the project since 2013. The aim is to beat the first Puzzlephone market in the second half of 2015 at a price which is equivalent to mid-range devices if all goes well in terms of funding. It runs forked Android while the pieces are from third-party vendors.
