Research notes

Campaign launched 2026-09-10 and is still funding (per WebSearch results dated 2026-09-22). CircuitMess's history (Chatter/Clockstar/ByteBoi/Artemis all eventually got schematic PDFs + a firmware repo) suggests this will land in the 'schematics' tier once shipped, but nothing citable exists yet — marked unknown rather than guessed.

Source & revision notes

Sources reviewed Sep 16, 2026. Final specifications remain unconfirmed. Check delivery with the maker.

The current campaign page describes a redesigned modular phone but does not name its final processor or modem in readable specifications. The ESP32 and GSM details in the archive may refer to the original MAKERphone.

Keep this entry provisional until final hardware specifications and supported cellular networks are documented.

Independent source review of an announced product; no hands-on testing or fulfillment confirmation.

Original MAKERphone/Ringo guides, processor specifications and firmware are not evidence for MAKERphone 2.0.

A cellular phone requires network service for calling; the overview’s off-grid marketing is not treated as off-grid communication capability.
