Motorola Project Ara: Lego like a mobile phone that never goes out of style

If Moto X is a small step on the way for Motorola's custom phone, Project Ara is a big step. Motorola, which has been preparing for the launch of Project Ara, is now officially announcing a partnership with Phonebloks founder Dave Hakkens, who pioneered the concept of assembling mobile phones, to create modular, open source, customizable mobile hardware platforms. Project ARA consists of a framework (ENDO) and a module. You can install a variety of modules on the frame, and modules can be anything, such as a processor, a display screen, a keyboard, or even a standby battery, a pulsating blood-oxygen meter, or something that no one else would think of. Because the modules are removable, you can change the hardware modules you need to upgrade at any time without having to replace the entire phone. Although the idea looks very beautiful, but to achieve the cellular phone hardware modularity requires a large number of new interface specifications, and space utilization, cooling, optimization will become a modular mobile phone difficult to avoid pain points. Project Ara seems to be trying to move a PC's savings experience to Android, but will anyone want to save a clunky Android phone in an era when fewer people are willing to save a clunky desktop? What's more, there is a failure precedent for Modu, a modular communications equipment manufacturer. Motorola is trying to solve these problems, and will start inviting developers to develop hardware modules for the ARA platform in the next few months and will launch the Alpha version of the Module Developer Toolkit (moduledeveloper ' skit) this winter. is modular mobile phone feasible? Let's wait for the answer from Motorola.
