The flagship phone of google Nexus 6 did not fare very well in the market. However, this time google seems to know exactly what the Android customers want.
The search engine giant google seems to have collected the sales records of the smartphones which captured the market share and did a good analysis. There are three major requirements customers have- not too expensive, not too fussy, and nicely tailor-made for a great experience on the Android platform. It goes without saying that more features and frills increase the cost and in today's ever-changing world, when technology changes every day, the user is not ready to spend a bomb on a depreciating asset.
The Silicon Valley giant has come up with a modular smartphone- Project Ara. As per the reports on knowyourmobile, '' The concept is a simple one -- you buy a basic model Ara phone and all the bits can be pulled off and swapped as you see fit.
Fancy a more powerful camera module? You'll be able to buy one through Google's dedicated store - a treasure trove of hardware modules populated by components made by third-party manufacturers, from the likes of Samsung and its ilk, right down to little independent developers working out of their basements.''
This model is very similar to their revolutionary Google play for apps. Developers across the globe develop apps and anyone can download them to their phones and customise many features. The same will be true of many other components of this flagship Project Ara phone, including things like memory, display panels, physical keyboards, sensors and scanners, ports, modems and wireless modules, and much, much more.
Here is an extract from the report by the verge- "This very early version of the phone we played was functional, although we weren't allowed to turn it on and use it, in part because the touch features aren't up and running, Google annouced.
