The smartphone is a cell phone that suddenly wanted to be something more! Like the Scarecrow who got his brains from the Wizard of OZ, he got his “brains” from the geniuses of the computer world. And learned all sorts of functions, features and services. Smartphones differ from ordinary cell phones by having a fairly advanced operating system that is open to software development. Without it, there would be no your favorite “angry birds”, no navigators, no barcode scanners and other charms of mobile life.
Yes! Installing additional applications can significantly improve the functionality of smartphones compared to conventional cell phones.
Since the end of the “noughties” smartphones finally displaced the classic cell phones and PDAs from the hi-tech market. Tore them apart, in a marketing sense, like a duckbill:).
Those, of course, are still being sold and even find their buyers, but about finding new ways of development for these “ancestors of the smartphone” it is not necessary to speak.
Powerful processors provide high performance of your gadget. It depends on it – what games the owner will be able to run on the “phone”, how quickly videos will be loaded on the Web, whether the smartphone will work in multitasking mode. The more cores and power – the better. The less – the worse. Remember this rule.
Large touch screen will make your work more comfortable and entertainment more vivid. The case when size really matters. The number of inches is important for fans of hd-video, mobile gaming and … a good show-off! Even now you can find smartphones with a diagonal of 7 inches – this is almost a tablet! This gadget, of course, the back pocket is not worn, but play FIFA or GTA with his screen has a real.
The quality of the display. Here, as in the case with conventional monitors, TN-LED-AMOLED line of technology applies… The younger the technology, the more expensive the gadget. Pay attention to more advanced versions of “screens”, the degree of pixelation and antialiasing, the number of displayed colors – and you’ll be happy!
Operating system: The number of adequate and popular mobile OS has long ago exceeded a dozen. It is clear that the “Stars” of the market are iOs, Android, Windows Phone and, to a lesser extent, Linux. Fans of each of them are ready to fight to the last blood for the fact of the superiority of their favorite over all others. In fact, each of the existing operating systems has its own advantages. In any case, buying iOS and Android, you get access to the maximum number of applications. Including free ones. A factor which it is better not to pass by.
Price delta: Modern smartphones can be bought for anywhere from a few dollars to a few million dollars. The most expensive gadget in this class is the Apple Diamond Rose Edition. It can be purchased for $8 million. Hmm. It seems now you know what to buy your girlfriend for February 14!
Market Prospects: Smartphone functionality is growing from year to year, like the foreign debt of the Republic of Cameroon! They incorporate pedometers and heart rate sensors, beautiful cameras and “wiretapping devices”. Already now, a smartphone can replace a simple fitness tracker and camera. It is hard to imagine what will happen next!
However, the guarantee of their further development is still not the capabilities of the “stuffing”, but the software. It is the new applications will be the main “marketing bait” for gullible consumers. In addition, no one has canceled the need for communication. And, therefore, “smartphones” or their future analogues will be in demand for many years to come.
