The Ara Project is an initiative of Google to design a modular smartphone that allows you to personalize the material and design of your phone by exchanging modules to add or remove components such as the camera, battery, storage, and even the screen.

The company has been working on the technology for several years and had planned to launch a pilot project in Puerto Rico before the end of 2015 to assess the popularity of the project and sustainability thereof.
Today it seems that the Mountain Giant plans have evolved to change. Indeed, the Ara Google project has published some messages on Twitter to let us know a few things:
the pilot program Ara project will not take place in Puerto Rico, as originally planned
Ara project will eventually be available in Puerto Rico, later
More information will be provided next week.
If this is not Puerto Rico, where is it?
At present, we do not know where Google plans to deploy its pilot site, and especially when it is launched.
As mentioned before, the idea of Ara smartphone is to offer endoskeletons arriving in different sizes. A series of modules provided by Google and its partners would therefore change almost all components of the smartphone without completely put in the trash. Many modules can even be hot swapped.
But before dreaming of replacing some components based on your needs and circumstances, Google needs to launch the technology on the market . And the first step is a pilot program that will take place somewhere that is not in Puerto Rico so. Rest assured the firm does not seem inclined to give up!
