From ZeroPhone
Welcome to ZeroPhone Wiki!
ZeroPhone is an open-source smartphone that can be assembled for 50$ in parts. It is Linux-powered, with UI software written in Python, allowing it it to be easily modifiable - and it doesn't prohibit you from changing the way it works.
ZeroPhone goals
- Making cheap open-source smartphones more widespread
- Having a smartphone that respects your privacy
- Having a smartphone that can be customized
- Strengthening open-source software ecosystem
- Educating people about how smartphones work
ZeroPhone characteristics
- Power-user and programmer-friendly
- Independent and respecting your privacy
- Open-source hardware and software
- Modular and extensible; based on Raspberry Pi Zero
- Built from available components, can be assembled independently
Currently, ZeroPhone is based on Raspberry Pi Zero, SIM800L GSM modem and 1.3" OLED screen and button interface. The hardware is almost ready for ZeroPhone v1.0, and now software is being developed to have a basic set of phone functions.
