Smartphone Google Project Ara, announced as the very first modular mobile phone in the world, was in development for too long and still not went on sale. Interest from buyers has long faded, and today it became known about the freezing of the project for an indefinite period.
The essence of the smartphone Google Project Ara is, recall, the possibility of replacement of certain components directly at home: I wanted a more powerful battery, or accidentally broke the screen — no problem and even the service center do not need to apply. The idea of Google Project Ara is very good, but had some difficulties with its implementation, or the other manufacturers had any impact on the death of the project, but the fact remains that such a promising phone, the release of the developer version many times postponed and was to be held in the fourth quarter of this year, has been postponed indefinitely.
Consumer version of Google Project Ara could see the light next year, but no luck. At the moment there are two variants of developments: either the smartphone will finally sink into the abyss of oblivion and I will not be able to develop, or is Google simply will begin to sell licenses for the concept of Project Ara and modular smartphones then appear in the lineup from all the major manufacturers, and the Chinese will steal the idea for free.
