Meet Ara,
Life and technology change quickly. So does Ara.
Ara modules fit neatly into the frame, allowing for upgrades, innovation and style.
Mix. Match. Swap.
Slide any Ara module into any slot and it just works. Powering this simplicity is Greybus, a new bit of software deep in the Android stack. Greybus supports instantaneous connections, power efficiency and data-transfer rates of up to 11.9 Gbps.
Built to Last
The Ara frame is built with durable latches and connectors to keep modules secured. Ara modules are designed around standards, allowing them to work with new generations of frames and new form factors.
Build With Us
More Space. New Ideas.
The Ara frame contains the CPU, GPU, antennas, sensors, battery and display, freeing up more room for hardware in each module. We are looking to module makers to create technology never before seen on smartphones.
Hardware’s API
The Ara baseplate provides an instant connection to the Ara frame and its core technologies. That means less time fiddling and more time building.
Open Marketplace
We're hard at work on an open marketplace to connect the next generation of ideas with the broader Ara community. Google is looking for beloved brands and forward-thinking developers to join us.
