Anyone who has ever built their own computer knows how exciting it can be. Researching all components, deciding what fits your budget, fitting out your rig and eagerly awaiting your finished product.
How far in the future do you think we are from building our own smartphones? Probably not until some visionary makes a claim that they see everyone with a smartphone in their hand. But, I am willing to stake that the first company to have an online smartphone building site during this time will make it big.
While I see this maybe 5 years from now, it doesn't stop me from imagining my own dream design made with components from different phones of TODAY!
5.0 inch screen (HTC J) -some like smaller, I like media on large screens
1920x1080 SLCD 3 RGB (HTC J)
Synaptic touch (Nokia)
60hz refresh (Nokia)
MicroSDXC slot (LG)
32GB Storage (Nokia)
NFC,Bluetooth,Wifi,(normal sensors,GPS) (ALL)
2GB DDR2 RAM (LG)
8.7MP Pureview Rear(f2.0, BSI, 26mm) (Nokia)
2.0MP wide angle front (HTC)
2300mah Replaceable Battery (Samsung)
Built in Qi Charging (Nokia)
Windows Phone 8 (Microsoft)
Qualcoms S4 Pro 4core w/Adreno 320 Graphics (LG/HTC)
Beats Audio (HTC)
What phone would you make? And how far into the future do you think this will pan out, if at all? This could be profitable to a company, because the sell a phone that they know that will sell instead of hoping it will sell.
