    Now I’m thinking modular phones need to make a comeback.

    Nothing’s $200 CMF Phone 1 only shipped with swappable cases and a stand to start, but this Bambu Lab contest inspired makers to put all kinds of awesome 3D printed contraptions on the back of the phone.

    Maybe we don’t need Project Ara — just user-replaceable batteries (pretty please) and some user-facing screws!

    Most offered similar results! The Crucial P310 and Corsair MP600 Mini (with new Phison E27T controller) slightly stood out on performance and battery life — but not temperature.
