hey guys this is Austin and today here's a video on the new Google project ara are you ready for a modular smartphone today in Mountain View Google gave us our first close look at project ara the general idea is to bring all the great customizations that a PC has to smart phones if you were to imagine a smartphone for the next 5 billion people what would it look like it would be inexpensive would be easy to use some of the things ro will allow you to do is completely change the parts on the phone to suit you let's say I'm going on a trip I could plug in a small camera and a big battery once I get home I can then put my bigger camera back in or even a different screen the way it works is you'll buy an endo essentially the skeleton of the phone it comes in three sizes small medium and large and allows you to slide in all the parts you want to create your phone the way it works is that you have this interface standard and C capacitive means it's just touch there's no locking mechanism gotcha um and you have the data and power that goes new back so it's like kind of like how a wireless phone would charge sure talked about a what they call the gray phone which is you know essentially a $50 device is probably to be a little bit more after will see yeah like they're they're probably gonna make a little bit of money off of this but it was essentially the Bill of Materials is $50 and it's essentially just just the bare Mitch's on bare right that's enough to find a Wi-Fi hotspot to run the RF configurator able to upgrade the device and figure that device functioning and one of the things they were talking about is they don't want this to last a year two years they want this last five six years I'm smoking you can completely change out every single part on the phone a couple times yeah well the life cycle not really have to worry about it I think that's really cool to actually be able to just say okay you know what bigger battery done right and here's the thing about the battery is that it's all hot swap battle the phone is on look at your android screen and yes you can't take this play off or the processor out but the battery you can suite right you would turn off yeah while it's running you can actually remove your battery put in a new battery or remove the camera and put in a Wi-Fi unit or a fingerprint sensor as anything else while running so what do you guys think of project ara let me know in the comments below also huge thanks to Brad from Engadget and norm flew tested for sitting down and talking with me a little bit you guys can definitely go check them out and I'll have their links in the description of this video anyway guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
