Here’s How Motorola’s Modular Phone Clips Together

The folks at Phonebloks put together a little thank-you video this morning, and with it, gave us a sneak peek at how Motorola’s new modular Project Ara phone would clip together. It’s pretty awesome.

Sure, Ara doesn’t look like much as just a baseplate…

…but then the screen, front-facing camera and speaker get clipped on.

The Ara is then flipped to reveal the clips on the rear…

…and then all the memory, CPU, camera and storage modules are clipped on.

Quite a fetching-looking Frankenphone, really…

…from all angles.

The name ‘Ara’ is a weird combination of the words hardware and software…

Despite the name, we want one!
