Tecno's got the most modular phone ever

China's Tecno Mobile is known for some wild phone concepts, and the company took it to the next level this year at MWC Barcelona.

Case in point: Tecno's booth in Barcelona was chock-full of people trying to make sense of what the heck all those weird phones are about.

Perhaps the weirdest of the bunch was the Tecno Pova Neon, a concept phone with actual ionized neon gas lighting up its rear panel. This result in a dynamic display of lightning-like lights; unlike some other phones with dynamic lighting in the back, Tecno's variant is truly random and probably won't get boring as fast. We're not sure how this makes the phone better, but it will definitely turn heads when you whip it out of your pocket at a business meeting.

Then there's the sexily-named Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology, a concept that consists of an incredibly thin, fairly basic phone that can be expanded with magnetically attached modules.

We've seen modular phones before, but never has attaching new stuff to a phone felt this easy or fun. You can attached modules onto modules, too. You can, for example, slap two batteries onto your phone; or a battery and an extra speaker; or a speaker and an improved camera; the possibilities are endless.

It's unclear whether either of these are coming to market, but this may be the first time I'm actually interested in a modular phone.

If you prefer your futuristic phone branded with a familiar luxury brand, Tecno's got you covered, too. The company partnered with Lamborghini to create a bunch of Lamborghini-themed accessories, including a phone called The Tecno Pova Metal Tonino Lamborghini Limited Edition. It, too, has a glowing thingy on the back; that's been a theme this year, as we've seen similar devices all over the show floor in Barcelona.
