The prototype of the modular smartphone Project Ara from Google lit up on video

The emergence of the Project Ara modular smartphone on the market is becoming an increasingly real event. The project team promised to ship the first batch of such smartphones in early 2015, and now the development speed of the modular smart phone has clearly increased.

Proof of this is the working prototype of Project Ara, which was shown in the next video from the development team.

True, the modules themselves do not show on the video, but they show the loading of the operating system and some interface elements. If you do not want to watch the entire movie, then scroll through the video until 2:25.



By the way, the development of modules for the smartphone will involve third-party companies that can create their own modules . These modules will be sold through a single directory, the principle of which will be similar to the principle of Google Play.



In the Project Ara catalog it will be possible to buy both basic modules: a case with basic elements, and additional modules. By the way, the processors for Project Ara will be the company Rockchip .



It is worth noting that in January of next year, on the 14th, Google will hold a series of conferences dedicated to the main achievements of the Google Ara project. The conference will be held in Mountain View, with "affiliated" events in New York, Buenos Aires and London. The second series of conferences will begin on January 21, with a center in Singapore and subsidiaries in Bangalore, Tokyo, Taipei and Shanghai.
