Big brand starts producing actual cameras for Project Ara — techradar.com

Toshiba has shown two camera modules that it's making for Google's unique Project Ara modular smartphone. The modules can be swapped in and out of an Ara handset, allowing you to easily upgrade the snapper on your smartphone. The two modules that were shown off by Toshiba were 5MP and 13MP snappers, both of which can be quickly installed into a Project Ara handset as the main rear cameras.
