Google hopes that the first modular smartphones Ara project will be ready to be shipped to the lucky residents of Puerto Rico later this year. And these smartphones will naturally need cameras. Fortunately for early adopters, Toshiba already has a built-ready embedded in the modular smartphone module.

Toshiba will arrive on the market with two camera modules compatible for Ara project . For those who want something that can rigor replace a point-and-shoot , they will have the opportunity to snap a 13-megapixel sensor to their system. However, those who do not want to shell out hundreds of dollars can opt for a 5 megapixel sensor sold around 50 dollars. Curiously, no module has flash at the moment. Toshiba may have in mind that the flash should be on a separate module, and that the firm could sell another module with this characteristic.
To take selfies and make video calls, Toshiba is working on a front camera of 2 megapixels . Although we should see the first version of Ara project this year, according to Toshiba's development plan we will not see the camera modules before 2016.
In addition, they plan to offer a bunch of other modules for Ara project, among which one can note an NFC chip, memory expansion, or another to add his flamboyant TransferJet technology. It can transfer files wirelessly at speeds of 560 Mb / s.
The other modules of the project which we have already heard from Sennheiser, or the Yezz smartphone maker who claims to have created hundreds of prototype modules that we should find at Mobile World Congress at the beginning of March in Barcelona.
The ability to simply exchange the coins and upgrade the smartphone allows the Ara project be an incredibly exciting product. Moreover, it is encouraging to see big names such as Toshiba support the project.
