This is dumb and dumber, making a smart phone
Hey what's up guys, Keaton here. So
Have you ever thought to yourself, your phone
Sucks, and that you could build a better one?
The day is today!
I found a kit, that lets you make
Your own phone, from scratch, and
It actually works! Lets do it. So
Yeah guys, this right here is a kit that
Lets you make your own phone
It sounds crazy, thanks so much Mackenzie
For sending this to me on twitter. I'm just at techsmartt. If
You guys find any weird gadgets, send it to
Me over there, I don't know what to expect
In this video, and drop a like on it if you've
Ever thought you could make a better phone
Like serious, think about this. Have you
Ever had a phone that you're just not happy with, like
My iPhone 7 plus, its cool [phone placed on desk]
But making your own phone is ten
Times cooler, and I don't think I'd lose this
You know? Because like I made this, I don't know
Maybe that's just me. Like, you made something
You never lose it. So if you guys want to check out this
Thing called the rephone, links below. It's an
Open source modular phone, and
Yes, I am really good at reading
I read that right off the box, and the
Whole point about this is, you kind of build
Your own phone, and then kind of tweak it
And you can add stuff to it later. This is
what project Aura wanted to be
Like through Google everything. This
Really looks cool. Like I've never
Made my own phone. I do a lot of like DIY's
You guys know that. Making my own phone
If it actually turns on and if I could
Actually like make a call from it, that'd be
Super lit! Cool, so lets just get right into it
You get like this nice box
Looks kind of cool. I don't think this was too
Expensive. Like if it works, and I can
Make a call, I'm never using my iPhone again
Alright, got some start guides...
Okay! That is getting real
Crafty. We got some cardboard
And here is like the parts you need
To make this phone, so
This is the screw... I don't want to rip it
I'm going to be that kid, that rips it
Before the video even
Starts... I think that's
For wi-fi, I'm not too sure
Right now. Come on out, come on out...
Come on out to play...
Got everything out! [Chuckles]. So I'm reading
Through this manual here, and this phone hasn't even been
Built yet! It's getting awesome
I'm really getting excited! You can add on
Like these different modules. Thats like the whole point
Of like this module or phone thing, and
Honestly, project Aura would've been sick!
You can add on a gps if you want and a
Seeve to do some payments, set up some shortcuts
So I called my neighbour Matt over to help
Me, since I'm not the best at reading
Instructions... That's not a joke
This phone, honestly... wouldn't
It won't look like a phone, unless I have
Some help from my neighbour, Matt. So we're just going to
Go ahead and start building this, I hope
It actually looks like a phone when we're done
Step one. Connect the
Two things together
I know pictures are nice. I'm not good with
Picture books either. Should I, should I connect it, then rib it?
Or should I rib it, then connect
It? So
This is fatty McGee, this is the fat
Screw. We got to stay consistent on the
Screws, like that could easily [bleep] us up
Like mhmm
Ben, when the video's not on
[Murmurrs] So I didn't think making
A phone would take this long. But through
The power of editing, I'll come back and it's
Gonna be done. [Snaps finger] I can't
Believe it, but this actually took 20 minutes
To do, and I think we got it
It was, kind of easy
Matt helped me with the reading, because my
Comprehension is trash... We did it!
Like, we did it. This is a group project
Like, this is all we, this is all we! So
it kind of just folds up, like there's like two
Colours you can go with. You can go with the
Regular cardboard, this is boring... We wanted to go with the colour one
And this is actually a one inch phone
Coming up real soon, that challenge. I
I, can't actually believe
This is looking, like a phone...?
I hope it turns on? That's
Kind of it, like this is what it's supposed
To look like, when its tucked away and all pretty
Lets try to power it on
It charges via like micro USB
And the power button is right next to
Here. If this works
It's gonna be
Great. We made our own phone. We legit made
Our own phone. Here we go
[Music plays]
You're joking me...
We made... our
Own phone! And the screen
Actually looks good! That actually looks like
An HD screen. So I'm going to go
Ahead, and try to like call myself... And if it works
Matt is going to go in the other room, so you guys
Can Hear how good it is...
Thinking juicy... Here we go!
Here's my phone...
[Phone Rings]
Answer it dude!
It actually worked...
Alright, I just answered
Hey what's up [voice mumbles]
Hey can you hear me?
Yeah, I can hear you loud and clear captain
That's the mic on, this
Phone we made. It sounds
Pretty good. And like, I'm not
Joking here
Yeah dude you sound fantastic man
We did it dude, we did it
You can add a bunch of different stuff to this, but
If I can text and call myself...
On a phone that I made, that'd be really sweet
So, lets just hope it works
Touch screen is really good too
New message
My name yeah
To...
Pick my contact...
Thick and juicy
Send it! No way...
Done...
This is the coolest thing, ever
Honestly guys, like this, I'm calling
The lego phone. It's pretty cheap
It works! And
You can't really like get the experience
Watching two guys, trying to read some instructions
And build a phone, but I can't
Believe it, you can add NFC, GPS
A bunch of other stuff, and if you want
You can add that LED board and do an
LED matrix, add some music
To it. It, its this small
Like, I could put this in my pocket
Although, I'm a little suspect
Because it is made out of cardboard
And I have a working 1 inch
Phone. So yeah guys that's
Pretty much it, for this insane video
Thats so much Garin and Hockey for having my
YouTube notifications on. If you guys want a notification shout out
Make sure you turn them on, and let me know in the
Comments. Get subscribed to my channel if you're new

Any of the weird gadgets like Mackenzie
This was lit! Thank you
So much, I'm done with my iPhone
This is it
Even, my dad
Is watching the video! Go
Go, now!
