Here in the video we are given a quick look at how component modules are held in place by electropermanent magnets, they slide into place easily, and are locked and unlocked with a quick burst of voltage that'll ultimately be controlled with an app.
The idea of a modular phone is seen as a potential next step in the evolution of smartphones, bringing personal customization of mobile devices to a new level.
Also Google officially released its first Project Ara Module Developers Kit (MDK). The MDK gives a better understanding of the platform and provides developers with guidelines for creating components for the modular smartphone.
The MDK gives us a glimpse at the three different Ara skeleton sizes – mini, medium and large. As expected, larger skeletons will be able to accommodate more Ara modules than smaller ones.
Ara devices will be available in different physical layouts and users will be able to choose from touchscreen-only setups, as well as options with physical QWERTY keyboard, or even a number pad.
Google plans to release a series of Ara MDK releases this year and The first Ara phones could hit the maket as early as the first quarter of next year.Also its said to have a cheaper cost.
Google plans to hold its first Ara developer conference on April 15.
