[@autbo]

This phone is a nightmare for other phone retailers. Everybody will buy this phone and be fine for years cause they can upgraded without buying a new phone. Genius.

[@BeepDerpify]

the thing is, this project was almost dead, but thanks to find of research and testing they concluded that people don't care about the processing power of their phones as much as everything else. So everything besides graphics and processing will be available to modify

[@Pacavi]

+Pemphro the RAM, processor, and main memory won't be upgradable, which have evolved dramatically over the past few years. To have these limited and say the phone is fully upgradable without getting a new phone is false. When technology advances, this phone may have a new camera, but the main frame will be left obsolete. Also, as screens get to a higher resolution, and they add features to them, we'd have to replace the whole frame to replace the screen I believe. In doing so, we'd have to pay for new RAM, processor, and memory.

[@SqueebzEZ]

Google does something innovative. Apple user-"This is gonna fail." Apple releases the same phone for 10th time. Apple user-"Oh ma gurd Apple is so revolutionary!" Apple stocks continue to drop.

[@WixkedLovy]

Apple users don't think every new phone is revolutionary. In fact, it's probably Apples formula of not changing every new phone too much that makes people keep buying them. It's easier having a new phone that doesn't take a week to get used to and if there are any problems the solution is probably the same as the solution of the last phone. And it's not like Apple users like every change either. Like how the iPhone 7 supposedly won't have a headphone jack and will be using Bluetooth earphones instead.

[@Mystic.ape.]

Also Android adds a feature that used to be an Apple exclusive Apple users- Android is ripping Apple off, they should be sued. Apple rips off an Android feature Apple users- omg Apple continues to innovate, I was waiting for this feature to come to Apple

[@dooplon5083]

+WixkedLovy I jumped from an older version of Android to an s6 once and it worked fine (not to mention I came easily navigate unfamiliar android phones); the most that really changes with the Android changes are aesthetics.

[@MrElectrifyer]

+Firas almannaa Haha, would really love to know if it's TechRax proof...

[@NathanButh]

+Firas almannaa I believe they are held on with strong magnets(I remember hearing that at one point) which should help with it keeping together. If something breaks, though, you could just hotswap it. ;D +Chris McPole The main issue with Google Glass was the price point. It wound up alienating a large group of the general public. Google also should have taken a more active approach to handling the concerns of people in and out of the community. The device itself wasn't actually the problem and a lot of people showed interest to having even just a couple of the features let alone the whole package. Hell, the camera quality isn't great but I have yet to see a more practical form of capturing pictures in the moment. Source: I gave demos to at least 2000 people between 2013 and 2015 using my personal device. I also discussed at length with people that were and weren't a part of the program on how the device could improve and how public concerns(such as the camera) could be taken account of. Many were excited about it, and likely we will see it or something similar to it come up within the next couple years successfully.

[@cooleymovies]

That's why it was held back they needed stronger magnets and that being said I think parts will still fall off just not as massively as they had done before

[@AndrewMeyer]

+Nathan Buth Glass didn't have a price point. It never got out of the explorer program, so we'll never know what the price for the consumer model might have been.

[@NathanButh]

+Andrew Meyer it wound up not being exclusive. after a few months anybody could join the program in the US and a while later in the UK. The price was $1500 though which wound up effectively alienating it from the normal everyday people that wanted it as a consumer device. Heck, the only reason I could even remotely justify the cost was to have a developer device on a platform that could become big(like those who bought the original Oculus Rift).

[@juanmiguelgalvez1590]

Idea: Make a case for spare battery modules that doubles as a power bank. If you're low on juice, just swap the battery modules and place the other battery in the case and it will charge. You can even make it charge wirelessly by putting the essential parts on the modules themselves and having a place for the modules. A normal module case is good too. Just so people can have their extra organized.

YAY! ARA finally! Although I'm a tad disappointed they couldn't get the electro-permanent magnets to work, that looked cool. Also the CPU and GPU aren't contained in modules and neither is the screen, so the phone will have to be updated if you want those things to be upgraded..

[@ZettabyteGamer]

Ya I am a tad bit disappointed about the screen, CPU, and GPU being included in the base phone. It makes sense, but the base phone is sure to be $200 - $300 now, and you have to buy a whole new one when you want a new component included in the frame.

[@domcarter2327]

Yeah exactly, I see why they had to do it, the original endo was quite sophisticated there had to be cuts. Also I don't even know what would happen if someone removed a processing module while powered on. Could cause permanent damage?

[@ZettabyteGamer]

+Dom Carter I wouldn't think it would cause permanent damage, but who knows. Upgrading the screen, GPU, CPU, and RAM independently were what I was looking forward to most. I guess we can't always get what we want though. ARA is still a very cool project in my eyes, and depending on the components in the frame on the consumer launch I will probably still be buying it.

[@domcarter2327]

+ZettabyteGamer yeah me too but as you say we can't have it all. Maybe those features will be added in future generations. I just got a new phone but I plan on ARA being the last phone I buy after this. I have high hopes haha

+Jorge Porras How so?

[@dooplon5083]

Jorge Porras Well, for some of those of you really think about it would probably be problematic to successfully change so it kinda makes sense, but for some of the other things that are no longer changeable I see your point.

Pretty vague ....all I saw was interchangeable camera lenses and rectangles. Just very confused and alone now .

[@jordeusiii3900]

+Ross v this has been a project for a while now, the premise is that you can change out "blocks" of your phone on the fly to suit it for differant scenarios. For example, a photographer might want to put on a higher res camera and more storage, or when you are playing games you can have a higher power CPU and more battery. Or more general ones, like the second screen showing the weather

[@rossv2347]

+Jordeus Iii ahhh now that makes a lot of sense actually yeah I'd but one

[@jordeusiii3900]

Ross v Its basically supposed to kill every phone ever

[@ThioJoe]

+Ross v It also looked like at one point (the woman running) put in what looked to be extra battery blocks.

[@xei862]

+Ross v reinstallable modules; camera on your phone break? replace it with a new module. your battery doesn't charge as well as it used to? replace the module. you want louder speakers? buy a second speaker module. Literally ANY feasible feature that you would like on your phone can be user-installed.

[@yannick930]

The processor ? The GPU ? The screen ? The ram ? Nothing that really matter is replaceble anymore. The project was about keeping a phone longer buy replacing easily the parts that don't work or slow your device in the future. Now it's just a better LG G5. A way to consume more and not to keep your phone longer.

[@macksuting6263]

Would have been the best thing ever as we can swap the parts easily and also upgrade when needed

Hooray! a phone that break into little pieces when you drop it on the floor! Can't wait!

[@josuealba-lopez7295]

its actually going to be held together by electromagnets when it is on so yeah

[@JSZ69420]

+Dany Alba what a stupid way of doing things. they should instead make it like a frame with screws or thumb-screws (large screws that can be removed with a thumbnail)

[@josuealba-lopez7295]

+Johann Schmidt well they will turn off when the phone is off enabling you to slide parts off

[@jaydon_han]

+Dany Alba they actually found a different way to hold the pieces together. They aren't going to be using electromagnets but a "more efficient way"

bit disappointed the screen is now part of the frame, along with the GPU, CPU, etc. I. guessing the frame is going to be $300+ now instead of the $50 I think most of us were expecting.

[@ZettabyteGamer]

+patstar5 Nope the screen, GPU, CPU, antennas, battery, and probably RAM our all in the base frame. So you can still upgrade those parts, but you have to upgrade all of those if you want to upgrade one. it's sad, I know.

[@waelwm4331]

+ZettabyteGamer what's the point of buying it then

[@nikshepsvn2002]

+ZettabyteGamer how do you know?

[@ZettabyteGamer]

+Nikshep Svn Because I watched the ATAP conference at I/O 2016.

[@ZettabyteGamer]

+Wael WM Like I said, you can still upgrade all those components, you just have to do them all at the same time. You can still add extra batteries, new screens, cameras, speakers, finger print scanner, heart rate monitor, and seriously hundreds if not thousands of other things. It's disappointing that the GPU, CPU, battery, and screen are part of the frame, but it makes sense. I totally understand why they did it, but it is disappointing.
