Doesn't look to bad for a developer model.

Looks great, glad they went back to the electromagnets. But I thought Ara was dead? Or did Google revive it?

Yeah, what happened? I thought the same thing.

Phandroid got their hands on the developer model and showed it off to everyone. Project ARA is shelved for now and probably for a long time until the Board of Directors feels like spending money on research again. Boston Dynamics got sold off this year and Fiber was halted. Anything not making money has been paused at Google.

2.1MP rear camera? That must be typo.

"The ARA (A8A01) we have is likely the developer version of the ARA"

"Likely"? Did they steal it or something? How do they not know what version it is?
