\/><\/p>\n<p>The main differences I noticed when compared to Project ARA is that it has only 3 modules: the brain (processor, camera and electronics), the spine (display and buttons) and the heart (battery and secondary electronics).<\/p>\n<p>I think these kind of modules are better to manage for manufacturers. ARA has too many\u00a0modules. Here is a video on this modular phone.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gOju0snK_zU?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The video is almost a year old.
