Interesting modular smartphone concept, Motorola's Ara project could sooner or later find application in reality.

A platform on which compatible pieces made by other companies could also be grafted. A bit like Android did for software, in other words creating a 'third party' ecosystem, facilitating their access to development and speeding up the pace of innovation.

Ara would be a sort of chassis, a 'skeleton' on which to mount the various modules: extra batteries, various displays and elements that allow the most extreme customization. In the coming months, the project will leave the embryonic stage to bring to those interested a real development platform: let's see what the idea of ​​having an “Open Source” smartphone will lead to.
