Project ARA was a modular phone concept started by Google a few years back. Google cancelled the project leaving many fans of the idea with nothing but a dream of what could have been. Well we happen to have one of the only units of Google's modular phone and we are using it as a daily driver android phone for 30 days. Here is our 14 day update of Google's Project ARA modular phone, and what we think of it so far!

Its sad because in my opinion this phone had an untapped potential. They could focus more on the cameras and stereo. This could be a new era to photography, but who knows, maybe in another time. Btw, very cool video bro

imagine storage modules, enhanced camera modules, imagine live image modules or just plain modules with custom images so user can customize the phone. id be willing to pay top dollar for this type of phone

I'd think the full release version would have had a shell cover on the back, which would also eliminate the need for making "pretty looking" modules. That's what they used to do with phones that you could remove and replace your own battery, sim, and extra memory with. It was all behind the back cover, instead of in the little slots they have now.

Google needs to look at this project again and revamp it. It could be groundbreaking if a newer variant came out today. Modularity is a dream for many.

@TheLarousse89 2 жыл бұрын

My guess is that google doesn't want it. There's reasons that they removed the ability to take the battery out.

@@skywolfx76 It won't happen because google doesn't make their money on selling components. They make it on data collection which they then resell. They're a corporate surveillance company above all else. Selling a niche smart phone would be all negative for google and there would be zero upside. It would be a regression. You can't turn your phone off so they can turn the mic on to listen for key words to get more marketing data. That's all the whole system is and until society has a fundamental shift that's all it will remain. People buy whatever is presented and marketed to/at them. Most people don't care one way or the other what the form factor of their tech is. That's why despite blatantly anti-consumer actions on behalf of *all* tech companies (MS, Facebook, Apple, etc. They are all the same at the end of the day) people keep spending more and more on their crappy convoluted tech that has better and better data collection abilities without adding anything meaningful or fulfilling to peoples lives. We're resources to be mined. Smart phones are just another way to do that.

That ara phone seems heavily outdated compared to the modular phones that were created 7 years ago. Google is tarnishing the reputation of modular phones to make money on our current phones.
