You may not have heard of a business called Yezz and that is probably since they’re a small company lurking in the shadows of the mobile industry, at least here in america. They’re a bit more well-known in Europe. The organization handles producing phones and tablets for Android, Windows, and Firefox. Being that they are already in the hardware business, Yezz has announced that they will start developing and producing modules for Google’s Project Ara.
For people not familiar with what Project Ara happens to be, it is Google’s initiative to bring modular phones to the world. This suggest you will be able to swap out hardware modules with brand new ones that represent specific bits of hardware inside the phone like RAM, space for storage and so on. This can, if this gets released, essentially make Project Ara Android phones the equivalent of PCs in your pocket since you will be able to upgrade them in a similar fashion to PCs.
As module developer, Yezz will collaborate in establishing a viable module marketplace that will permit for optimum customization. The consumer asserts control in defining their devices, using the choice to buy a fully configured device or upgrading a single module.
Yezz hasn’t gone into details as to what modules they intend to produce, only that the company is going to be making them. However, we’ll know soon enough in regards to what Yezz has planned in terms of modules because the company will be in the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2015 in the Avenir Telecom’s booth showing off more details using what they expect to do, and hopefully some modules, for Project Ara. Full press release below.
