Modular phones were supposed to be Watch Doom Fighter (2000) full Italian moviethe next big thing in mobile. But interest in phones with swappable parts waned as companies like Google and LG abandoned their pet projects.
All hope isn't lost, though. Lenovo's still staying the modular course with its "Moto Mods" for the Moto Z phones, and now you can add Alcatel's A5 to an extremely small list of device's with customizable components.

One thing I did appreciate is that the phone doesn't turn off when you swap in a new cover.

It's a total snooze-fest for anyone who likes nerding out over the latest and greatest phone tech, but, hey, modular phones aren't technically dead... yet.
Given the specs, hopefully the phone and covers will at least be cheap.
