We’ve been writing about modular phones for about 10 years now and they have yet to conquer the mainstream. Modu had the right idea, Project Ara had the right funding and Moto Z seemed to be the one. None of them made a big splash and we’re only left with

Jonas Daehnert is a name you probably haven’t heard of, but at the same time you may know the designer as… Phone Designer. This time, after creating a few Surface Phones and Lumias, he turns his face towards a Tiny Phone. What came out of that can be seen below.
