"Modular phones are seemingly the dream among phone enthusiasts. Who wouldn't want to build their own phone? This phone starts off with a little bit of an iPhone Air vibe to it. It's extremely thin and it has magnets and pogo pins on the back to attach the modules. Right off the bat, I wish the magnets were a bit stronger; the modules were a tad wobbly."
"Each battery is also 3,000 mAh, and the company had three modules on hand, and they are stackable, for a total of 12,000 mAh. That's pretty cool by itself."
"Since the phone is a proof of concept, Tecno didn't share a spec sheet, but I was able to glean a few things. First, it uses a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 processor with 256GB of storage and 12 GB of RAM."
Tecno showcased a magnetic modular phone concept at MWC alongside a tri-fold device. The modular phone features an iPhone Air-like thin design with magnets and pogo pins enabling module attachment. It houses a MediaTek Dimensity 8350 processor, 256GB storage, and 12GB RAM with a 3,000 mAh base battery. The standout feature is stackable battery modules, each 3,000 mAh, allowing up to 12,000 mAh total capacity with three modules. Additional modules include a wallet attachment. However, the magnets lack sufficient strength, causing module wobbling, and camera modules require refinement. This remains a proof of concept without confirmed release plans.
