Thus far the modular smartphone market has yet to manifest itself with actual products that consumers can buy. Google is getting very close with Project Ara and appears to be on track for a 2015 release. Google may get some competition from a new entrant to the yet to be established market. A new company called Vsenn has launched a web site indicating they are working on a modular smartphone.
The web site that surfaced for Vsenn claims the company was co-founded by a former program manager from the Nokia Android X project. Equally lacking in detail are specs for the device that is being worked on. Vsenn does indicate three modules will be swappable – the camera, battery, and processor/RAM combo. Along with the internal hardware, the company says they will offer a variety of back covers to customize the looks of the device.
Two other key concepts have been released by Vsenn. For security purposes, they will use triple layer protection to protect data on the device. A free VPN service will also be available for device owners as well as a secure cloud service. Vsenn also says they will install a vanilla version of Android on the device and they are committing to keeping it up to date for at least four years.
