In the middle of 2014, a Raspberry Pi maker released an early version of a Raspberry Pi Smartphone. The internet went crazy over it! It was featured on a variety of top blogs like Lifehacker and TechCrunch.

Now, in the last few months, a new and even more developed Raspberry Pi Smartphone has been made. It even has a 3D Printed case!

I think being able to say, “I built my own Smartphone“, is pretty impressive, and by following this guide you’ll be able to do just that!

The TyPhone – A Raspberry Pi Smartphone

There are quite a lot of bits and pieces needed to make this project happen, such as a Raspberry Pi A+ and of course, the 3D printed case. Fortunately, they provide the files for the case design, and if you don’t have a 3D printer, there are companies out there who will print the designs for a fee and mail them to you. And while that’s going on, you can spend your time working on the electronics and software side of the Raspberry Pi Smartphone.
