earlier this year, Google reported that the modular smartphone Project Ara will be released to a test market in Puerto Rico until the end of 2015. But the project has faced some difficulties, but because of his debut officially postponed to 2016. Test pads will be several locations in the United States.

Project Ara involves the creation of a smartphone with modular components that the user can pick up and install at its own discretion. It was assumed that in Puerto Rico will establish a mobile outlets, which will collect vehicles to order, based on the preferences of buyers. In addition to excellent maintainability, Project Ara will be able to provide a gradual modernization of the device.
