Could Facebook Be Working on a Project Ara Style Phone?

It looks like Project Ara might not be completely dead, or at least something about it may still live on in the world of tech. While Google has pretty much abandoned the concept, it looks like Facebook plans to do some mobile tinkering of its own.

It looks like Facebook has been on a hiring spree, snapping up many mobile experts, including a lot of top names from the Google Ara department. What will Facebook do with such a team? That remains to be seen, but the Project Ara team likely bring with them the same ideas they were pushing with Google, that modular phones are the future.

Personally, I would love a modular phone, having the option to take out a block and plug in a bigger battery, a more powerful camera, speakers, and so much more, could be an interesting product.

Would you have bought a Project Ara type device?

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
