New models of mobile phones or smartphones appear every month. Now their parameters are comparable to computers of five years ago. Internet access, watching videos and listening to music are just a few of the functions that a modern phone is capable of performing.
Operating system
All smartphones have an onboard operating system that allows them to run applications. Apple's iPhone runs IOS, BlackBerry smartphones have BlackBerry OS. There are also Android and Windowsmobile operating systems.
Applications
Almost all modern cell phones are equipped with third party software. Even the most basic models have an address book or contact manager. Smartphones have many more features. They can enable you to create and edit Microsoft Office documents. You can download applications such as personal affairs manager, weather viewer, and many more. You can even edit photos or get live images from surveillance cameras if you install the appropriate application.
Access to the Internet
Smartphones can provide access to high-speed Internet connections thanks to the emergence of 4G and 3G broadband data networks. You can also access the Internet using the built-in Wi-Fi module, which is available in almost all phones. However, some smartphone models cannot support high-speed internet connection.
QWERTY keyboard
Most phones have a QWERTY keyboard. It has the same look as a standard computer keyboard. There is a number block at the top, and letters at the bottom. Moreover, the keys are not in alphabetical order, but according to the frequency of use.
Many owners sooner or later have a desire to replace the standard keyboard with something unusual. The developers have foreseen this and have created hundreds of different QWERTY keyboards for smartphones. Some of them are paid and some are free.
Message exchange
All mobile phones can send and receive text messages, but the hallmark of smartphones is their email service. It can be synchronized with your personal mailbox and account. Certain gadgets are capable of supporting multiple email accounts. Others have access to popular instant messaging services such as AIM, AOL, and Yahoo Messenger.
Screen
The screen is the main distinguishing feature of the smartphone. Many have a touchscreen, and some still have a keyboard combined with a conventional TFT display. However, smartphones with keyboards appear less and less as the price of touchscreens decreases every year and new types of screens appear.
Conclusion
The production technology of smartphones and cell phones is constantly changing. The most advanced phone becomes obsolete with the advent of new models. Therefore, it is worth changing them at least once every few years.
