Forget about Project Ara by Google and the modular phones they plan to unveil soon. With a little more than 100€ (or 158$ if you wish) David Hunt developed the PiPhone, a smartphone that he developed from scratch using a raspberry pi and some other parts!
But what did Hunt use to create his own phone? Here’s what he used:
- Raspberry Pi Model B – $40
- PiTFT Touchscreen 320×240 – $35
- 2500mAh LiPo battery – $15
- SIM900 GSM/GPRS module – $48
