The phone's modular construction was intended to allow easy switching between Sailfish OS and Android mobile operating systems.[4] As of May 2017, the project is delayed indefinitely due to lack of funds.[5]

Construction

The main modules were intended to be:

  • 1: Brain - The Brain would contain essential electronics: the CPU, GPU, RAM, memory, and cameras.
  • 2: Spine - The Spine is the structure: the display. Core spine elements would be available in a variety of sizes and materials.
  • 3: Heart - The Heart contains the battery: the enabler of secondary electronics and features chosen by the user.[1]
