Smartphone
Smartphones ( contraction of smart and telephone ) are a class of mobile phones and of multi-purpose mobile computing devices. They are distinguished from feature phones by their stronger hardware capabilities and extensive mobile operating systems , which facilitate wider software , internet (including web browsing over mobile broadband ), and multimedia functionality (including music, video, cameras , and gaming ), alongside core phone functions such as voice calls and text messaging . Smartphones typically include various sensors that can be leveraged by their software, such as a magnetometer , proximity sensors , barometer , gyroscope and accelerometer , and support wireless communications protocols such as Bluetooth , Wi-Fi , and satellite navigation .

A smartphone is a handheld personal computer with a mobile operating system and an integrated mobile broadband cellular network connection for voice , SMS , and Internet data communication; most if not all smartphones also support Wi-Fi . Smartphones are typically pocket-sized, as opposed to tablets , which are much larger in size. They are able to run a variety of software components , known as “ apps ”. Most basic apps (e.g. event calendar, camera, web browser) come pre-installed with the system, while others are available for download from places like the Google Play Store or Apple App Store . Apps can receive bug fixes and gain additional functionality through software updates ; similarly, operating systems are able to update . Modern smartphones have a touchscreen color display with a graphical user interface that covers the front surface and enables the user to use a virtual keyboard to type and press onscreen icons to activate " app " features. Mobile payment is now a common theme amongst most smartphones. |

A smartphone is a mobile phone (also known as cell phones) with an advanced mobile operating system which combines features of a personal computer operating system with other features useful for mobile or handheld use. [1] [2] [3] Smartphones, which are usually pocket-sized, typically combine the features of a mobile phone, such as the abilities to place and receive voice calls and create and receive text messages , with those of other popular digital mobile devices like personal digital assistants (PDAs), such as an event calendar, media player , video games , GPS navigation , digital camera and digital video camera . Most smartphones can access the Internet and can run a variety of third-party software components (" apps "). They typically have a color display with a graphical user interface that covers 70% or more of the front surface. The display is often a touchscreen , which enables the user to use a virtual keyboard to type words and numbers and press onscreen icons to activate "app" features. |

A smartphone , or smart phone , is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system , with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than a feature phone . [1] [2] [3] The first smartphones combined the functions of a personal digital assistant (PDA), including email functionality, with a mobile phone. Later models added the functionality of portable media players , low-end compact digital cameras , pocket video cameras , and GPS navigation units to form one multi-use device. Many modern smartphones also include high-resolution touchscreens and web browsers that display standard web pages as well as mobile-optimized sites. High-speed data access is provided by Wi-Fi , mobile broadband , NFC and Bluetooth . In recent years, the rapid development of mobile app markets and of mobile commerce have been drivers of smartphone adoption. |

A smartphone is a mobile phone that offers more advanced computing ability and connectivity than a contemporary basic feature phone . [2] Smartphones and feature phones may be thought of as handheld computers integrated within a mobile telephone, but while most feature phones are able to run applications based on platforms such as Java ME , [3] a smartphone allows the user to install and run more advanced applications based on a specific platform. Smartphones run complete operating system software providing a platform for application developers. [4] A smartphone can be considered as a Personal Pocket Computer (PPC) with mobile phone functions, because these devices are mainly computers, although much smaller than a desktop computer (DC). Additionally a PPC (Personal Pocket Computer) is more personal than a DC (desktop computer). |

A smartphone or sphone is any electronic handheld device that integrates the functionality of a mobile phone , personal digital assistant (PDA) or other information appliance . This is often achieved by adding telephone functions to an existing PDA (PDA Phone) or putting "smart" capabilities, such as PDA functions, into a mobile phone. A key feature of a smartphone is that additional native applications can be installed on the device. The applications can be developed by the manufacturer of the handheld device, by the operator or by any other third-party software developer. "Smart" functionality includes any additional interface including a miniature QWERTY keyboard, a touch screen , or even just secure access to company mail, such as is provided by a BlackBerry |
