The Ara Project of Google has not yet generated any commercial modular smartphone. The latest prototype, shown at a conference last year, demonstrated the advantages of hardware was performed quickly when a screen change, but the features were still very basic.
The good news for the project fans is that the next presentation of an "Ara" device should now happen in March at Mobile World Congress 2015. Also, last Wednesday, Toshiba announced that it has partnered with Einfochips to produce the chips of the first modular devices that can reach the market later this year.
Shardul Kazi, vice president and Toshiba technology officer, said the cost of interchangeable modules should range between $ 50 (US $ 141) and $ 500 (R $ 1,413) and that prices will be adjusted to achieve a level "reasonable ".
Currently, it is difficult to assess whether the modular devices really will be able to commercially compete in the smartphone market. Nevertheless, the MWC 2015 promises to reveal some surprises and maybe the modular gadget dream is not as far as we imagined.
