Release “revolutionary” modular smartphone Google pending – the device falls apart if dropped

The other day there was information that Google plans regarding the project Project Ara has changed. As it turned out, the release of the acclaimed modular smartphone delayed until 2016.

As one of the reasons the project participants noted that the development phase of the prototype took longer than expected. The design of the gadget is yet to be determined and specialists keep experimenting.

In the last message on the page Project Ara on Twitter, the developers talked about another reason for the release of the smartphone. The fact that the device in its current state can’t pass a standardized test in the fall, during which he literally crumbles into individual modules. The developers have confirmed that they refused to use electrophotonic magnets that can’t handle secure mounting of the modules.

Google strives to embody what she did with Android, but at the hardware level: to generate an extensive ecosystem of third-party manufacturers, to lower the barriers of contiguity thereto, to increase the degree of innovation, compress the timeline of development. In other words, the hegemony of the five or six leading manufacturers communicators must come to an end. Structural problems, however, proved insurmountable in the moment, Google has been testing a new method of fastening the components of the smartphone.

When in 2016 we can expect the emergence of a “revolutionary” modular phone in the market, not yet reported.
