Google took the wraps off the first Project Ara
modular phone that will be commercially available
at a dedicated developer conference. Dubbed
Spiral 2, the handset will first launch in Puerto
Rico in the second half of this year.
The Project Ara Spiral 2 model specifications
include dual application processors (Marvell
PXA1928 and Tegra K1). A 720p display, 5MP
camera, microUSB port, battery, and speaker are
also part of the setup. Network connectivity
options consist of 3G modem, Wi-Fi, and
Bluetooth.
There are 11 working modules for the Project Ara
2 smartphone. Google plans to have as many as
thirty options available by the end of this year.
Google will sell the Spiral 2 chassis and modules
in Puerto Rico in partnership with local carriers. A
number of small trucks will also be involved in the
sales process - they will surely allow the device to
reach even more users.
The next Project Ara prototype, Spiral 3, will offer
LTE connectivity and better battery life. An
inductive system contactless data between
modules will also be on board.
