A new patent registered by Facebook through his secret laboratory Building 8, on Thursday (20), points out that the company is interested in exploring the concept of modular smartphones.
The Facebook project is confirmed with a recent patent registration granted to the company, which presents modular electronic equipment with several modules that interconnect to the main, which may incorporate speakers, microphones, touchscreen or GPS.
The fact is that there is still no certainty regarding this project, if in fact it may be referring to the creation of a smartphone or it could also mean that this device will transcend the mere realm of smartphones and may have other applications.
The sources did not fully clarify the issue, but only indicated that those responsible for the Building 8 project - the Facebook division responsible for various futuristic projects - are developing advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies.
Modular smartphones may have had a troublesome start, and although they have not been liked by many consumers, the various models on the market show that there is room for evolution. And it seems that Facebook is aware of this.
