That's why a modular mobile phone is so interesting.

The important aspect of a modular mobile phone is not what you can add to it (silly little consumer modules) but what you ca subtract from it.

With a modular mobile phone, you could physically isolate the GPS/GSM/LTE/bluetooth components at will.

My prediction is that the google modular phone, whatever it's called, will have the cellular components on the base system and not removable, which is a pity.



Project Ara? All reports have stated that the basic device will be wifi-only.
