How to make your own smartphone 1. A 480x320 3.5" touchscreen display. 2. An ESP32 S3 N16R8 for the main processor of your phone, this has WiFi and Bluetooth. 3. A SIM800L cellular modem, It can do calls and texts well. Fun fact: it's powered by mediatek! 4. TP4056 charger+boost module, this will charge your battery and provide power. 5. Li ion battery. This depends on your case, but I recommend staying in the range of 1000mah-4000mah. 6. PCM5102 Audio module. DAC for the headphone jack. 7. Camera module. Use an ESP32 CAM with an OV2640. 8. Custom PCB. For a clean build use KiCad. (highly recommended) 9. Use either the Arduino IDE or PlatformIO for firmware. Both are excellent options. Tip: Use LovyanGFX instead of TFT_eSPI for speed. Done, Thanks for watching! If I helped you, drop a follow. If you have any questions, comment it.

Ever wanted to make your own cell phone? This DIY tech guide walks you through all the components needed to build a functional mobile device using the ESP32 S3. We'll cover everything from the 3.5" ST7789 touchscreen display to the SIM800L cellular modem for calls and texts. Pro tip: Use the LovyanGFX library over the outdated TFT_eSPI for significantly better speed and performance. Hardware used in this build: - ESP32 S3 N16R8 Processor (with WiFi and Bluetooth) - SIM800L Modem (MediaTek powered!) for calls and texts - TP4056 Charger & Li-ion Battery - PCM5102 Audio DAC - OV2640 Camera Module Designed in KiCad for a clean PCB layout. If you're into Arduino, PlatformIO, or custom electronics, this project is for you! #techtok #esp32 #DIY #arduino #fyp
