Since Project Ara was launched, it has traveled a long hard road. We now know from a new report that it has finally reached its final destination. There are sources that maintain that Google has suspended work on Project Ara as part of spreading efforts in other types of hardware projects.
Project Ara started out in Motorola's ATAP division, but it was Google that kept much of the team when Moto was sold to Lenovo. The idea of the Mountain Viewers was to launch Ara in Puerto Rico in 2015, but it was finally canceled without a mere explanation to know the whys. The only thing that has been received are promo images and that demo video to stay a little cold today before a project that had a lot of future ahead of it.
One of the reasons Project Ara has been canceled is because of the arrival of President Rick Osterloh de Moto to unify your business hardware. That's because now we are about to get Pixel phones instead of Nexus and because Ara is being canceled.
From the same source of the news, it is said that Google would be taking the technology behind Ara to be launched in one of the ways, but the hardware will not. Which we have some explanation Truthful about why this project has been canceled, which intended that a user could gradually replace parts of his Ara phone so that he could keep up with the hardware requirements.
If we now look at the smartphone market in which you almost have to buy a new one to be able to acquire the new version of Android, obtain more storage by not offering some microSD cards, or how terminals that are not even two years old from their release are not updated. to the market (example the Xperia Z3), we can understand why this project would not interest Not at all.
