    Years ago google was looking at doing a modular phone. It was basically a frame with modules on the back that contained the battery, storage, cameras, and even the processor. The screen was even replaceable in a similar way. I really want someone to do another project ara.

      I remember that, I liked the idea except for Google being involved. The dream would be a fully modular phone running Linux. I don’t ever see that becoming a reality, but hey.

      I think that was called project aria or ara… something like that. A fully modular phone seems so great! I hope that concept is used someday like the Framework uses on their laptops for ports.
