Google's highly innovative "Project Ara"

Project Ara is the codename of the highly innovative project of Google in the smartphone area. It’s an open hardware platform for creating highly modular smartphones. The smartphone will be a combination of different modules that are joined together. Like, it could be a keyboard module, a long life battery module, a camera lens, it can be anything. There are so many possibilities and so many combinations that can be done that it will all and all change the way we use our smartphones.


With the ability of adding and removing modules from your smartphone to suit you different needs you can easily make full use of it in different scenarios. Like, if you are going on a vacation you will probably want a smartphone with great high resolution lenses to capture those beautiful moments, sceneries,  so for this you can simply add different lens modules to it along with battery modules too. Isn’t it cool. Yeah it is, I really find it amazing, this concept of changing modules as per your requirements.



This project Ara will bring the smartphone experience to a new level. It’s surely a step forward in what all can be done in the smartphone technology in order to provide users, the best gadget in the palm of their hands.


Google recently took the wraps off the first Project Ara modular phone that will be commercially available at a dedicated developer conference. It’s called Spiral 2 and is expected to launch in the 2nd half of this year.

The project Ara Spiral 2 model Specifications are:

720p display
5MP camera
microUSB port
with battery and speakers
Network connectivity include : 3G modem, WiFi and Bluetooth.

If the concept catches the world’s fancy it won’t be long that smartphone giants would be manufacturing different modules for the modular smartphones, like Nokia making camera module for some Android based modular smartphone :p
