Google's Project ARA Release Date Confirmed, Motorola and Dave Hakkens Envision a "Create-Your-Own" Smartphone of the Future, Features & Price of Upcoming Project ARA

Project ARA, Google's latest competitive innovation, is ready to stand out among other leading smartphones today. Its interlocking modules or parts allow you to change and swap different phone components. It's basically a customizable smartphone.

It's been almost 3 years since the ARA project rumor started, but during Google's developer conference in April, the project was confirmed. Project ARA should arrive sometime in January 2015, with the earliest possible prototype leaks in December this year.

Thanks to Motorola and Dave Hakkens, users may no longer need a new smartphone to satisfy a new technological want. You can buy different modules or components instead of getting the latest smartphone. The concept all started with Dave Hakkens asking phone companies to create such a phone, and Motorola is aiming to make the phone possible, stating:

"Our 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".

The Lego smartphone allows you to change smartphone parts without a restart, while Google continuously modifies the phone's OS in the future to allow further swapping features. For now, the phone will run on Google's Android L, the company's latest OS. What's more,

As for the price, the first ARA smartphone "The Grey" will only cost you $50. It will come with a screen, a processor, a frame, and a Wi-Fi device. Think of it as a start-up kit. You can later add and remove its parts as you wish, including a camera. Personalize it to your liking.

Once Project ARA hits the market, the phones will be available on a new online store, looking like the Google Play Store.
