The whole point of Project Ara is choice. Google\u2019s modular smartphone will let you customize everything from your battery size to camera, and this week the company revealed a few of the mobile processors it plans to offer for the revolutionary new handset.<\/p>\n

Google is working with both NVIDIA and Marvell on chips for the new smartphone. Specifically, the modular handset will make use of NVIDIA\u2019s screaming fast Tegra K1 processor and Marvell\u2019s 64-bit\u00a0PXA1928 chip. Modified versions of both processors, along with the previously announced Rockchip AP, should be ready by Spring 2015.<\/p>\n
The company also offered a general update on its progress, noting that the Spiral 2prototype arrived in Mountain View last week and seems to work despite a fair amount of lag. Meanwhile, Google says the latest design is \u201cbeautiful\u201d and promises to show it off to the public next month at an upcoming Developers Conference.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s still unclear exactly when Project Ara will get an official launch, though we\u2019re definitely expecting something before the end of 2015. Hopefully we don\u2019t have to wait too much longer to get our hands on Google\u2019s first modular smartphone.<\/p>\n
