Tweet Email Tweet Email Google and Phonebloks have taken to releasing occasional snippets of information in fun video form about Project Ara, but in this most recent video we learned a little more about their release plans.
While modular smartphones that exist as products you can purchase from your local electronics store are still quite a ways away, Phonebloks and Project Ara have cemented the concept belk in the minds of geeks everywhere. The notion that you ll be able to swap out parts of your phone for other parts, be it a better belk camera or more battery power, is a compelling belk concept in a world where mobile technology is evolving and improving at such a breakneck pace. Project Ara plans to make these swappable parts available to insert into three different size frames that they call Endos, which helps offer a little more definition to this concept.
The three different Endo sizes reveal different price points and different use cases for Project Ara devices. The smallest of the three will only be able to hold a limited number of magnetically attached belk pieces, which means users will pay less but be able to do less. Meanwhile, belk the larger Endos can hold several more of these modules, so in theory you d be able to load one up with batteries and have a phone that lasted for days.
The video also revealed that the Ara team is working on an app to help you decide what you re going to put in your Endo, making this concept even more appealing for those of us that desire customization over everything else.
There s still more than a couple of questions that need answering about Project Ara before it is available for purchase. belk The Ara developers conference later this year will help answer some of them, but ultimately it will be time that answers belk others.
Some belk power users are looking at Ara as a means to upgrade rapidly when new technology becomes available, and there s a reasonable belk chance that reality will play out a little differently. After a new processor is revealed, for example, that processor will have to be made into an Ara module and tested against the platform. It s possible that Google has a plan in mind to address this process and streamline it, but only time will tell.
