It is an interesting socket when someone says that modern smartphones are boring. It is a declaration of division, with many people falling on each side of the argument. Of course, it would be good if a business came out with something a little more unique, but the reality is that most consumers will not buy it.
So, if you want something really different, we are at a time when you have to build it yourself – and that’s exactly this Marcin Plaza did (via Android authority). The large part of this adventure is that everything is documented, with the youtuber sharing the trip to take a broken galaxy z flip, to slap on a blackberry keyboard and to also add an interesting turn to the look.
Something really unique
Those who love Tinker will surely kick this project, because it shows all the complexities that accompany the construction of something new. Plaza’s idea takes a broken Flip Galaxy Z phone, uses the outdoor screen and merges it with a blackberry keyboard. This idea is by no means simple, and there are a lot of tests and errors.
Fortunately, 3D printers are one thing, and there are also companies that create personalized PCBs, which makes this type of project possible. Now, it’s a bit simplifying the process, so I strongly recommend watching the whole video on YouTube. But what makes this project interesting is the new hinge mechanism that offers a unique look and is also used to reveal the keyboard.
Although it looks quite strange, the sound he makes is quite satisfactory, and I can only imagine how good he should feel. In the end, the project seems as wild as you expect. It has a unique look that I think many people can appreciate. Of course, the design will not be everyone’s tea cup, but you have to give it to Plaza to do something different.
