• Mati said “it looks modular. although I also wrote that it needed to be “upgradable” (or customizable), and Fairphone only seems to have one possible module for each location on the phone. so I think I would go with no overall.” on 2020-01-03
• Mati said “Moto Z can have various hardware add-ons, but it’s not really the phone itself that’s modular: https://www.motorola.com/us/products/moto-z-family ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moto_Z” on 2020-01-03
• Mati said “PH-1 was an earlier similar concept, with even less (only 1?) add-ons: https://www.essential.com/ ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_Phone” on 2020-01-03
• Mati said “the LG G5 also seems to have more add-ons than modules: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_G5” on 2020-01-03
