What I checked
Official facts use the Roblox API snapshot labeled 24 October 2026, 06:53:51 UTC. The API reports creation on 2026-09-22, last update on 2026-10-20, 8,810,833 visits and 62,895 favorites. These are public metadata, not a live-server playthrough. Code rewards and office mechanics remain attributed press reports; we have not redeemed codes or tested a save.
Build a Phone Empire is a free Simulation / Tycoon on Roblox by DEVTEC STUDIOS (group 981473112, owner Callethepro). The API name still carries a seasonal prefix; this site uses the plain title. Some writers spell the studio Devtech. The group record says DEVTEC STUDIOS.
The official description says you design screen size, cameras, corners, buttons, colour, finish, and logo, pick parts, set a price, and hand the device to a team. Friends can appear as hire candidates with their own avatars. Research moves year by year into tablets, smartwatches, earbuds, foldables, laptops, AR headsets, and drones.
The official listing directs play through Roblox and explicitly supports phone, tablet, console, and PC with automatic company saving. It does not link a standalone Steam or APK release. The API server cap is 8; that is not evidence of a shared company or cash balance.
