Project Ara is part of the Advanced Technology and Projects (ATAP) group.The project is a bold plan to create an open-source smartphone hardware platform. Users would start with a piece of base hardware known as an Endo. Features would be added to the Endo as plug-and-play modules.
These modules can be a camera, battery, wireless radios, really anything partners can come up with. The hot-swappable modules give users the power to create a phone that works exactly how they want. For power users, a second battery module could be added to an Endo. If your phone is your main camera, you can add the best camera module available.
Those modules will be built by the developers using the MDK (Module Developers Kit) released at the Project Ara event. It’s a new way of building a smartphone that could benefit users and developers.
