There is still no official confirmation, but the check is, abandoning ambitions to have its own modular smartphone show a change in the technological colossus strategy of Mountain View.
unidentified sources advanced Reuters that Google has suspended operations of its Ara Project, whose mission was to develop a smartphone “do it yourself”, ie, a device that users could customize at will by adding or replacing components.
Although now be very unlikely that Google will launch its own modular smartphone, the same sources suggest that the company can collaborate with its partners to continue the Project Ara and put their technologies available to the development of this kind of devices .
to be true, abandoning ambitions to have a modular smartphone comes just months after Google has given to understand that their advanced “full steam ahead”.
in May, at its annual developer conference, the owner of the world’s search engine showed a device that supposedly resembled the final version of the equipment.
at the time, Google announced that some phones would be distributed to developers this fall. Initially, the launch was scheduled for 2015 but was postponed to 2016 and later changed to 2017. Now Google decides to terminate the project, when just four months ago everything seemed to be going “swimmingly”.
