Kusukela kwethulwa iProject Ara, isihambile umgwaqo onzima omude. Manje sesiyazi ngombiko omusha ukuthi ekugcineni usufinyelele lapho ubusuphele khona. Kunemithombo egcina ukuthi iGoogle imise umsebenzi ku-Project Ara njengengxenye yemizamo yokusabalalisa kwezinye izinhlobo zamaphrojekthi wehadiwe.
I-Project Ara iqale esigabeni se-Motorola se-ATAP, kepha bekuyi-Google egcine iqembu eliningi lapho iMoto ithengiselwa iLenovo. Umqondo wababukeli bezintaba bekuwukuvula i-Ara ePuerto Rico ngo-2015, kodwa yagcina ikhanseliwe ngaphandle kwencazelo nje ukwazi ukuthi kungani. Okuwukuphela kwento etholakele yizithombe zokuphromotha naleyo vidiyo ye-demo ukuthi ihlale ibanda kancane namhlanje ngaphambi kwephrojekthi ebinekusasa eliningi ngaphambi kwayo.
Esinye sezizathu sokuthi iProject Ara ikhanseliwe kungenxa yokufika kukaMongameli weMoto uRick Osterloh ku hlanganisa ibhizinisi lakho hardware. Lokho kungenxa yokuthi manje sesizothola izingcingo ze-Pixel esikhundleni se-Nexus nangenxa yokuthi i-Ara iyakhanselwa.
Kusuka emthonjeni ofanayo wezindaba, kuthiwa iGoogle izothatha ubuchwepheshe obusemuva kwe-Ara ukuthi ithululwe ngenye yezindlela, kepha i-hardware ngeke. Ini sinencazelo ethile Iqiniso lokuthi kungani le projekthi ikhanseliwe, obekuhloswe ngayo ukuthi umsebenzisi abuyisele izingxenye zezingcingo zakhe ze-Ara ukuze akwazi ukuhambisana nezidingo zehadiwe.
Uma manje sibheka imakethe yama-smartphone lapho cishe kufanele uthenge entsha ukuze ukwazi ukuthola uhlobo olusha lwe-Android, thola isitoreji esengeziwe ngokunganikezi amanye amakhadi e-microSD, noma ukuthi amatheminali angekho ngisho neminyaka emibili ubudala emakethe (isibonelo i-Xperia Z3), singaqonda kungani le phrojekthi ingeke ibe nentshisekelo Lutho neze.
