Project Ara: Toshiba announces first photo sensors modules of 13 and 5 Mpix

Project Ara: Toshiba photo sensors of 13 and 5 Mpix







If Yezz company, which recently designed a hundred modules for Project Ara is expected to firm up at MWC 2015, Toshiba recently formalized two picture sensor modules 13 and 5 Megapixels and a front camera module 2 megapixels for the modular Google smartphone.


Although only 5 megapixels, the smaller of the two sensors dosaux offers photosites of 1.12 microns, which should enable it to properly capture light despite its lower resolution. It displays a thickness of 6.4 mm. Thicker, the sensor 13 Megapixel displays a thickness of 7.1 mm with the photosites of a size 1.4 microns. It should give excellent results.

The big advantage of Project Ara is that it offers the user the opportunity to share the different components of its smartphone for higher-end modules. In other words, no need to change to change smartphone if you want to have a better photo sensor as simply just replace it. The latest technologies will be accessible more easily since the user will only have to buy new modules and not a “whole” smartphone.


The Project Ara will be officially launched by year end on the Puerto Rican market. The unit should also benefit from a battery module designed by SolidEnergy Company, offering an energy density twice that of current batteries.



Very involved in the Project Ara, Toshiba has dedicated a section of its site modular smartphone Google which are compiled many technical details to which you can access via the source link below. In the video you can find at end of article, it is the 5 megapixel sensor that you will see in action.
