Lego-Like Modular Cell Phone Phonebloks Not a Reality Yet, but Could be Coming

The planned Phoneblok, the brainchild of inventor Dave Hakkens, is a cell phone that has snap-on options that allow you to custom design your own phone from the, well, phone blocks. Choose exactly the screen blok you want. Choose the quality of camera you want among a range of camera blocks by different manufacturers. Choose the size of battery you want. And so on. And if one block breaks, you can just replace that block, rather than the whole phone. Same for upgrading a component.
