MAKERphone 2.0 is a fully functional 4G mobile phone that arrives as a box of parts. You assemble it yourself in about two hours, with no soldering and no prior experience needed; insert a nano-SIM, and it makes real voice calls and sends real SMS on live cellular networks. Then you program it, starting by describing ideas in plain English and progressing to MicroPython and Arduino C++.
It is made by CircuitMess, a Croatian educational electronics company, and launched on Kickstarter on 10 September 2026 with a 30-day campaign closing on 10 October. Early pledge tiers start around $129, and the kit is expected to retail near $169, with backer deliveries estimated for Q3 2027.

With powerful heat dissipation and active circulation for stability, the GT 50 Pro serves as...
I needed a phone.
And as every other time I had bought a phone; I brooded, browsed and asked every human I knew for their opinion.
This time, I even carried out a twitter poll to find out which phone was the hottest in the market, most especially because the last time I bought a phone; 2 years ago, the Nigerian phone scene was not as crowded.
After much ado, the Gionee F103 Pro crossed several hurdles- price range, size and above all….CAMERA quality and I welcomed it into my life.
It’s been a month and I have written a love letter to...
