Google Drops Modular Phone

Google has suspended work on developing a modular smartphone that allowed users to buy a basic phone and add different modules.Called Project Ara it was
launched in 2013 but suffered numerous setbacks.

The idea was to create a smartphone that could be customised to owners’ tastes
with interchangeable modules including screens, cameras and processors.

Google said it would now concentrate on its other phones, tablets and other
hardware lines.
