Xiaomi CEOLei Jun confirms that his company have discussed the possibility of producing a modular phone system similar to Motorola’s “Project Ara”.
Recently Motorola announced that their “Project Ara”, a modular phonedesign which allows you to build and upgrade your phone with easy to connect hardware, is ‘almost ready’. But they might not be the only ones working on such an innovative device!
Xiaomi CEO. Lei Jun has commented on his official Weibo account that Xiaomi have already discussed the possibility of such a phone and are now weighing the possibilities of developing their own rival design! Of course talking about such a phone and actually producing one are two totally different matters, but at least the idea is on the cards!

I think if the chinese are puting their heads togheter and ambition, they could release one before Moto does. I think it’s gonna be crappy, but hey? who cares?!? and probably after few months they will release 2nd generation… and so on, until they will have a polished product.
i don’t see Moto any time soon releasing a product based on this design…. unfortunatley.
