SMRTR summary
A developer known as LuckyBor has created a fully functional DIY smartphone using an ESP32-S3 microcontroller instead of traditional Android or iOS systems. The homemade device features 4G connectivity, calling and texting capabilities, a camera, web browsing, and includes a 3.5mm headphone jack on a 3.5-inch touchscreen. Currently in alpha stage as a layered module prototype, the creator plans to redesign it into a slimmer four-layer PCB format and open-source both the hardware and software designs.
