I remember hearing about Google’s Project Ara to create modular smartphones a few years ago. It seemed like a far-fetched idea back then, but now it seems that these will be a reality next year. What are modular cellphone? Basically a swiss army knife phone, where you can switch out different sections (modules) with new parts. Instead of trying to cram more tools into one phone, the idea would be that you could swap out tools when you need them. This would be things like better camera lenses, better microphones, better speakers, various scientific/measuring tools, physical parts, drone parts, etc. – anything that would take up a lot of room in a single phone. I am always knocking my phone case off, so I hope they have a good system for keeping the parts in place. And to store them when not in use. Seems like it could get bulky. And they never seem to show the screen side for some reason. But there are some interesting possibilities here, and a bonus that it looks more like a real phone than the proto type from years ago did.
