Rafa Camargo, Lead Engineer at Project Ara, got up and introduced Ara.


"Ara is a project that determines the smartphone's features according to each one," says Camargo.


This is the prototype of Ara. Various photographs such as pet dogs and favorite shoes are printed on the main body and module, and it seems that you can customize the exterior as well as the function of the smartphone to your liking.


The biggest part is the frame part called "endo".


The back side of the frame looks like this, the terminal to fit the module is visible.


It is a module part that is placed next to the frame. By rearranging these parts you can create your favorite smartphone.


First we will install an application processor.


Lightly press down with your fingers ...


When inserting it all the way back, you hear a click and it is easy to install.


Then install the battery module.


I was able to fit in with a slurp.


Place the speaker module at the top.


Furthermore, we will fit the speaker module in the lower part so that music can be played back stereo.


On the back side of the module you can see that square terminals of the same shape as the frame side are embedded.


I attached the speakers and the module was filled with the right side of the frame.


When I return the terminal ......


The character "android" is visible, and seems to have been able to start the terminal successfully. Ara is "UniProIt seems that the development team is proud that it is the first smartphone to use.


With the lock release screen like this, when you swipe up ... ...


The home screen was properly displayed.


Camargo picks up the terminal and presents it to the audience seats. It is said that Ara has adopted the latest version of Android.


And Camargo started the operation demonstration of the terminal.


Tap the camera application to start up.


Then, since Ara does not have a camera module, the camera icon with diagonal lines is displayed on the screen.


Turn the terminal upside down ...


Install the camera module.


The camera will be usable only by attaching camera parts.


I pointed the camera to the audience seat again with the terminal ......


The state of the audience seats was displayed on the display. Ara recognizes the camera module, and you can see that the camera application is moving exactly.


Because it's a big deal, let's take a picture of Ara for the first time in this place, Camargo.


Turn the camera towards the audience ... ...


Pacial. Although the operation of Ara can not be said to be slimy crisp, it seems that you can operate smoothly without stopping or stopping.


Looking at the picture taken, Camargo said "It's great!" And it's niccoli.


We are planning to publish further updates of Ara at the next developer's conference, so this demonstration is over.


The pictures of the venues shot using Ara are shown in Project Ara'sTwitter accountIt is up to. We are planning to inform you of the development progress of Ara in turn on Twitter in the future.
