Project Ara, the Google adds Tegra K1 and Marvell Processors

Project Ara, the Google adds Tegra K1 and Marvell Processors
The modular smartphone which you can build yourself with that hardware you want, is long in Google's plans. Some months ago when it announced that Rockchip will be one of the companies that produce processors for Project Ara, and now announced its official partnership with two more, the Marvell and Nvidia.

The Google and Quanta, which is working to build the hardware, created two separate prototypes. One is based on Marvel PXA1928 processor and the other uses the Tegra K1 of Nvidia, which indeed we saw at this year's Nexus 9 tablet that HTC is made on behalf of Google. Unfortunately, Google does not show us any of the two yet.

To say that the idea of modular telephone born from Motorola and Phonebloks, then passed into the hands of Google when in 2012 acquired Motorola Mobility in 2012. Next month we expect announcements from Google about the progress of the Project Ara, but and when sales will begin. The aim is to keep low the price of materials and the basic model around 50-100 dollars.
