Project Ara is an open-source modular smartphone concept that allows users to customize their device by attaching individual third-party components called "modules". The goal is to reduce electronic waste by allowing users to replace specific broken modules rather than the entire device. Project Ara smartphones are made of interchangeable modules that slide into an endoskeleton frame. Example modules include cameras, batteries, processors, and specialty additions like air quality sensors. The project aims to launch pilot programs in 2016 and release affordable basic devices for $100 that can be customized with a wide variety of third-party modules.
Project Ara is Google's initiative to develop an open hardware platform for highly modular smartphones. The platform will include a structural frame that holds interchangeable modules like displays, keyboards, and batteries chosen by the user. This will allow users to swap out malfunctioning modules or upgrade individual modules as innovations emerge. The first model is scheduled for release in January 2015 and aims to offer advantages like low prices, cheaper repairs, customization, and extended device lifespan through modular replacements.

Google's Motorola has unveiled Project Ara, an open hardware platform for building modular smartphonesThe idea behind the project, led by Motorola's Advanced Technology and Projects group, is to turn almost everything in a smartphone — display, keyboard, battery, processor — into a module that can be replaced.Motorola envisions two basic components of such a smartphone: an endoskeleton (or endo), the structural frame that holds all the pieces together, and the modules which are fitted on the endo.
The goal is to drive a more thoughtful, expressive, and open relationship between users, developers, and their phones. To give you the power to decide what your phone does, how it looks, where and what it’s made of, how much it costs, and how long you’ll keep it.
With a Project Ara phone, modules can be replaced one at a time. Want a new Bluetooth model? Just snap it in. New battery, camera, processor? Easily done. The concept should give you, the user, the power to decide what goes into your phone: how it looks, how much it costs and what it does. As Motorola puts it, all of this should do for hardware what the Android platform has done for software. The results should be a third-party developer ecosystem and faster innovation.
Motorola has been working on Project Ara for a year. Immediate plans involve sending an invitation to developers to start creating modules for the platform in a couple of months.
If the project becomes a consumer-level reality available to billions of users, the effect on the smartphone industry as a whole could be very interesting indeed to witness. For one, it could affect the rate at which manufacturers release new models. Assuming the prototype functions well enough to continue, and assuming the public launch is received well — which is still a long ways off — this could be a major win for consumers over the long haul.
Project Ara is Google's modular smartphone platform that allows users to customize their device by adding or replacing hardware modules. It was originally developed by Motorola under Google but is now led by Google. The goal is to give users more flexibility to update parts instead of replacing the whole phone.

This presentation introduces the Phonebloks concept created by Dave Hakkens to reduce electronic waste by making smartphones modular and customizable. Phonebloks proposes a smartphone made of detachable third-party components called "Bloks" that can be replaced individually to upgrade functions, expand storage or replace damaged pieces. This would allow users to customize their device and potentially keep phones longer rather than throwing them out entirely when one component fails. However, some critics argue that the modular design could actually increase e-waste if users frequently replace blocks as new versions become available. The project is now being developed collaboratively with Motorola as "Project Ara".

2. Phonebloks is an open-source modular
smartphone concept.
primarily to reduce electronic waste.
By attaching individual third-party
components (called "bloks") to a main board,
a user would create a personalized
smartphone
These bloks can be replaced at will to replace
a broken blok, to upgrade an existing blok
Bloks would be available in Blokstore, "an app
store for hardware", where users could buy
new and used bloks as well as sell back their
old ones
4. - In September 2013,Dutch designer

5. The Project Ara smartphone will allow
everyone to build their own perfect
smartphone.
Where one person may want to spend more
money on a high power camera, another may
wish to splash out on more memory.
Whatever the desired goal a user should be
able to modify their device to suit that need.
6. The Ara is a modular smartphone.
The name of mechanical designer of this
smartphone is Ara.
First prototype of Ara launched in 0ct 2014.

11. Spiral 3, the next Project Ara prototype.
It will feature an inductive data connection
on the phone so modules and the endo can
communicate with no actual contact.
Spiral 3 will also support 4G/LTE.
Spiral 2 has a 1x1 block that includes a
microUSB port for charging and syncing, but
Spiral 3 will feature wireless connections
instead
Launch in Puerto Rico
MDK 0.5
20-30 modules
13. The most important piece of hardware is the
chassis called the "Endoskeleton
it's where all the modular components will slide
in and attach to the Endo’s slots.
In that a central "spine" traverses the length of
Project Ara phones, with "ribs" branching out to
split the phone into rectangular subsections.
The sizes of the Endoskeletons are:
Small – 45x118x9.7mm (about the size of classic
Nokia 3310)
Medium – 68x141x9.7mm (about the size of
Samsung Galaxy S5)
Big – 91x164x9.7mm (slightly bigger than iPhone
6 Plus)

17. 3D printed module cases
Customers can select:
- Colour
- Material
- Image
- Text
- Inscriptions
Easily replaceable cases
19. Even though the modules know how to speak
to each other, they need a way to physically
connect to the Endo.
The second technology Project Ara uses is
capacitive M-PHY, a physical layer developed
by the MIPI Alliance and made to work with
UniPro
M-PHY is a capacitive interface, which means
that the connection points won't be worn
down over time from swapping modules in
and out of the phone
M-PHY interface block calls for 10 connection
points, eight of which are for data (four pairs
of lanes), one for power, and one for ground.
20. UniPro/M-PHY interface has enough
bandwidth 10Gb/s for most modules, 20Gb/s
for large modules
The final technology in Project Ara's module
design is the use of electropermanent
magnets for affixing the modules in place in
the Endo
electropermanent magnets only use current
to flip magnetization on and off
21. Each interface block is composed of 4
electrical connections (2 for power, 1

Then make a module store, much like the Google Play app
marketplace, available so you can buy modules to upgrade your
exoskeleton
Many third-party developers are working with the Project Ara
team. Sennheisser will be developing specialised audio modules
and Toshiba has recently announced the first camera modules for
the smartphone.
. It's expected that in the future other companies will be able to
sell their hardware add-ons through this platform
23. The latest Android operating system will be
modified slightly to make it suitable for the
Ara. The project's team leader. Paul
Eremenko, has promised the Android team is
working to make sure the Ara phone is a
priority and gets the latest updates.

Front modules reach across the entire width of a particular Endoskeleton frame, while rear modules come in three standard sizes (1×1, 1×2, and 2×2) and can fit into multiple frame sizes. The rear of the Endo is parceled into 1×1 unit squares. Each 1×1 square is approximately 22mm. 1×2 and 2×2 modules are approximately 22x44mm and 44x44mm respectively.
The interface block is itself mounted and printed on a separate PCB (printed cirquit board). The interface block PCB is then soldered to the main PCB. When installed into the module, the interface block PCB should be completely flush with the corresponding opening in the module base. The interface block PCB must follow the geometry specified in the module template CAD and EDA files provided in the reference implementation withing MDK (Module Developers Kit). The interface block in the current prototype platform differs from the objective specification. Instead of contactless data transfer with inductive pads, the prototype uses electrical signaling between the gold-plated copper pads on the module interface block and spring pins on the Endo for data transfer (i.e., the same method used for power transfer). The shape of the prototype interface block pad is round to match the spring pins on the Endo. The module template section provides design artifacts for the prototype interface block referenceimplementation.
The prototype interface block provides 8 data pads: two bidirectional M-PHY data lanes with 8 differential pairs (2 TX pairs and 2 RX pairs), a power pad, a ground pad, a detect/wake pad, and an RF pad. Figure and table below detail the pinouts of the prototype interface block.
