MWC this year might stand for Modular World Congress. We've already seen Lenovo's modular ThinkBook laptop, and now we have Tecno — a phone maker that's never shy about making wild concept devices — with its own modular smartphone system to show off. While it's only a concept, I got to see it in action on the show floor, and I liked it more than I thought I would.
Modular phones have been tried before, with products like Motorola's Moto Mods or the LG G series phones, culminating in the G8X ThinQ Dual Screen. But with both of those now defunct, it's been some time since we saw someone try their own spin on the formula. Officially titled "Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology," Tecno's concept claims to be a possible solution to the issue of making phones more capable without making them overly bulky. And it does that by letting users mix and match parts as they see fit.
