Founded in 2024, PocketCompute is redefining what a smartphone can be.
PocketCompute was born from a simple question: Why can't our smartphones do more? Our team of engineers and designers set out to create a device that breaks the limitations of conventional smartphones, offering unprecedented extendibility.
We're on a mission to empower users and the community with technology that adapts to their unique needs, rather than forcing them to adapt to technology. PocketCompute is designed to evolve with you, offering endless possibilities for custom expansion and computing solutions.
PocketCompute is made up of a small passionate team, that brings together makers and creators just like you, with expertise from consumer electronics, software development, and hardware engineering. United by a love and passion for innovation, we're committed to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in technology.
