Google's Motorola has unveiled Project Ara, an open hardware platform for building modular smartphonesThe idea behind the project, led by Motorola's Advanced Technology and Projects group, is to turn almost everything in a smartphone — display, keyboard, battery, processor — into a module that can be replaced.Motorola envisions two basic components of such a smartphone: an endoskeleton (or endo), the structural frame that holds all the pieces together, and the modules which are fitted on the endo.
The goal is to drive a more thoughtful, expressive, and open relationship between users, developers, and their phones. To give you the power to decide what your phone does, how it looks, where and what it’s made of, how much it costs, and how long you’ll keep it.
With a Project Ara phone, modules can be replaced one at a time. Want a new Bluetooth model? Just snap it in. New battery, camera, processor? Easily done. The concept should give you, the user, the power to decide what goes into your phone: how it looks, how much it costs and what it does. As Motorola puts it, all of this should do for hardware what the Android platform has done for software. The results should be a third-party developer ecosystem and faster innovation.
Motorola has been working on Project Ara for a year. Immediate plans involve sending an invitation to developers to start creating modules for the platform in a couple of months.
If the project becomes a consumer-level reality available to billions of users, the effect on the smartphone industry as a whole could be very interesting indeed to witness. For one, it could affect the rate at which manufacturers release new models. Assuming the prototype functions well enough to continue, and assuming the public launch is received well — which is still a long ways off — this could be a major win for consumers over the long haul.

This document discusses modular phones, also known as phone blocks. It defines modular phones as phones made of detachable hardware modules or blocks that can be customized by the user. The concept was created by designer David Hakkens and is being researched and developed by projects like Project Ara from Google and Motorola. Modular phones allow users to upgrade individual components like memory instead of replacing the entire device, reducing e-waste. The document outlines the purpose, advantages like customization and sustainability, and disadvantages like software compatibility challenges of modular phone technology.
This presentation introduces the Phonebloks concept created by Dave Hakkens to reduce electronic waste by making smartphones modular and customizable. Phonebloks proposes a smartphone made of detachable third-party components called "Bloks" that can be replaced individually to upgrade functions, expand storage or replace damaged pieces. This would allow users to customize their device and potentially keep phones longer rather than throwing them out entirely when one component fails. However, some critics argue that the modular design could actually increase e-waste if users frequently replace blocks as new versions become available. The project is now being developed collaboratively with Motorola as "Project Ara".
This document discusses the concept of modular smartphones and describes a student project on this topic. Modular smartphones allow users to independently upgrade or replace components like the main board, camera, battery, etc. to reduce e-waste and repair costs.

3. INTRODUCTION
PROJECT ARA IS THE CODENAME
FOR AN INITIATIVE BY GOOGLE
THAT AIMS TO DEVELOP A FREE ,
OPEN HARDWARE PLATFORM FOR
CREATING HIGHLY MODULAR
SMARTPHONES .
It is made up of swappable and
replaceable parts. The phone is
designed to be a long-term
sustainable product tailored to
customers’ changing needs
4.
5. The platform will include a
structural frame that holds
smartphone modules of the
owner's choice, such as a display,
keyboard or an extra battery.
It would allow users to swap out
malfunctioning modules or
upgrade individual modules as
innovations emerge
The first model of the modular
phone is scheduled to be released
in 2016
User can customize device hardware
and look
Opens up mobile devices market for
parts
manufacturers
6. The project was
originally headed by the
Advanced Technologies
and Projects team
within Motorola
Mobility while it was a
subsidiary of Google.
INITIATION
THE PROJECT ARA IS LEAD BY
PAUL EREMENKO
7. It's a philosophy that's imported from the
Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency (DARPA),where Eremenko and his
boss, Regina Dugan, once worked. Dugan
came to Google in 2012,where she was put
in charge of ATAP , which was then meant to
help reinvigorate the Motorola division.
When Motorola was sold off to Lenovo in
January 2014 Google kept ATAP and Project
Ara, which became Google Ara
8. PROJECT ARA AND PHONEBLOKS
- In September 2013,Dutch
designer Dave Hakkens announced
the Phonebloks modular phone
concept independently in
September 2013
- Motorola publicly announced
Project Ara on October 29,2013
and said they will be working
collaboratively with Phonebloks
Dave Hakkens-Master
mind behind the
concept ‘Phonebloks
9. Initial exploration of this concept
began in 2012 and work started on
April 1 , 2013.
Dutch designer Dave Hakkens
announced the Phonebloks
modular phone concept
independently in September 2013.
Motorola publicly announced
Project Ara on October 29, 2013
and said they will be working
collaboratively with Phonebloks.
A near-working
prototype of an Ara
phone was presented
at Google I/O 2014;
however, the device
froze on the boot
screen and failed to
BOOT COMPLETELY
HISTORY
10. Stop the E-waste
As the electronic market changes
every day, it has increased a lot of
e-waste. For a single upgrade, we
need to change the whole phone.
Precise shape and structure leads
to inconvenience to some
customers. Mobile needs to be
flexible. It must only have the
customer’s required features.
NEED OF PROJECT
ARA
11. Phonebloks would consist of main
board onto which Bloks could be
snapped by the Lego bricks. Each
Blok is responsible for a unique
function of the phone, much as a
desktop computer has a distinct
sound card, processor, monitor,
and power suppLY.
WORKING AND ITS
COMPONENTS
Project ARA has two core component :
The ENDOSKELETON and
The MODULE
12. The endoskeleton is made of
aluminium to provide strength .
Also it means different sizes and
different types of components can
be added and permits ‘growth of
device’ from, for example, phone
to phablet, according to Google.
‘The framework of the
endoskeleton and interchangeable
modules promise to democratize
hardware in the same way that the
app opened up the world of
software.
THE
ENDOSKELETON
14. Modules can be anything
that users can think of
battery , speaker , camera ,
etc . They can be developed
by anyone; 3D-printed on
demand, used, replaced and
even re-sold ensuring your
phone is completely made for
each user. Module
development is open-source
and there is a toolkit
provided to help developers
understand the hierarchy
of functions and how
components can be
integrated.
THE MODULE
15. TECHNOLOGIES USED
UniPro
Capacitive M-PHY
ElectroPermanent Magnets
UniPro is a high speed internet protocol that project ARA
uses to allow its modules to speak to each other.
They share a common low level language for
communicating and building a network.
For project ARA, M-PHY is a capacitive interface, which means
that the points won’t be worn down over time from swapping
modules in and out of the phone.
M-PHY is requiring less pins and providing more bandwidth
per pin with improved power efficiency
16. Electropermanent magnets are
used for affixing the modules in
place in the ‘ENDO’.
Normal Electromagnets magnetize
depending on if current is running
through them – that would be a
battery drain.
But Electropermanent magnets
only use current to flip
magnetization on and off.
It is able to retain its magnetized
state without drainig additional
power.
17. Phone is very cheap.
You only buy the features that you
want.
Your phone could last indefinitely.
Repairs are easier and cheaper.
You could have two versions of
your phone
PROS
LOW PRICE
CHEAPER REPAIRS
CUSTOMIZATION
INCREASED LIFE
BATTERY LIFE
SUPPORT
SPECIALISATION
18. CONS
I) It will be bigger and heavier than a
smartphone.
II) The connectors are bound to cause
problems.
III) Certain combinations won’t work.
It won’t be optimized.
*SIZE OF THE PHONE
*TESTING ISSUE
*DESIGN
*THE CONNECTORS ARE
BOUND TO CAUSE
PROBLEMS
*CERTAIN COMBINATIONS
WON’T WORK
*IT WON’T BE OPTIMISED
19. Limited manufacturers
Getting such a phone accepted by
operators
Software integration
Changing components that
potentially have impact on
performance could disrupt the
service experience
CHALLENGES
20. The benefits of a modular phone
will become compelling tom
consume consumers once ATAP
Can get issues of weight, battery
life, and size reduce down to a
certain point. Also custom and
closures and super charged
batteries may appeal tom the high
end of the market.
FUTURE SCOPE
