Gabriel Rochet has created the Paxo Phone, a DIY mobile phone that promotes open source and accessibility in the smartphone world. At just 15 years old, he built the phone for only 30 euros using basic tools and parts ordered online. The project adheres to the principles of free software, allowing users to use, study, adapt, and redistribute the phone’s plans and code. The modular design of the Paxo Phone enables customization to suit individual needs, making it an ideal educational tool for studying modern smartphones, electronics, and computer science. This project aims to raise awareness about digital freedom and electronic device reparability.
