Project Ara: This is a new phone idea, made by Google.
Essentially, you get to build your own phone, with all the components that are important to you.
Is battery life a big deal? You get to put in as big a battery as you want.
Do you want a crystal clear camera image? You got it.
Is data storage a big deal? Go for it!
With Project Ara, you start with a basic shell and then add all the different parts of a smartphone that are important to you. And guess what? You also get to design what it looks like! Here's a video explaining all about it.
Unfortunately, Project Ara seems to have run into some difficulties with their drop test. The initial market launch was to be in late 2015, but because the electromagnets they were using to attach the components to the phone body weren't holding up to drop tests. Therefore the new market launch is said to be happening this year. This looks like it could be something really cool and I'm excited to see how it turns out! I might actually buy a smartphone!
