WHAT IS A SMART PHONE?

A smart phone is a mobile phone that performs many of the functions of a computer, typically having a touchscreen, interface internet access, and an operating system capable of running downloaded applications.
A smartphone is a cellular telephone with an integrated computer and other features not originally associated with telephones, such as an operating system, web browsing and the ability to run software applications.
A smartphone has more advanced features, including web browsing, software applications and a mobile OS. In turn, a smartphone also offers capabilities such as support for biometrics, video chatting, digital assistants and much more.

FEATURES OF A SMARTPHONE

One of the most important features of a smartphone is its connection to an app store. An app store is a centralized portal where users can search for and download software applications to run on their phones. A typical app store offers thousands of mobile apps for productivity, gaming, word processing, note-taking, organization, social media and more.
The following are some of the other key features of a smartphone:
1. Internet connectivity

2. A mobile browser

3. The ability to sync more than one email account to a device

4. Embedded memory

5. A hardware or software-based keyboard

6. Wireless synchronization with other devices, such as laptop or desktop computers

7. The ability to download applications and run them independently

8. The ability to run multiple applications simultaneously

9. Touchscreen

10. Wi-Fi

11. A digital camera, typically with video capability

12. Gaming

13. Unified messaging

14. GPS -- global positioning system.

15. A smartphone also has the ability to support accessories, including Bluetooth headphones, power charging cables and extra speakers. Because of the fragile outer casing of most smartphones, users often also purchase screen protectors and more durable cases in which to put their phones.

POPULAR USERS/USES

1.  Many consumers use their smartphones to engage with friends, family and brands on social media.    
 
2. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn all have mobile apps that a user can download from their phone's app store. These apps make it easier for smartphone users to post personal updates and photos while on the go rather than at their desktop.   

3. Another common use for smartphones is health and wellness tracking. The Health app for iOS, for instance, can keep track of sleep behavior, nutrition, body measurements, vital signs, mental health exercises and more.     

4. Third-party wearable devices, such as smartwatches, can connect with a smartphone to monitor an individual's health statistics, such as heart rate, and send information to be aggregated on the phone.

TYPES OF SMART PHONES

Smartphones are a part of daily life. They help us to stay connected. They entertain and inform. The most popular types of smartphones are the iPhone, Windows phones, Android, and Amazon's Fire Phone.

IPHONES

Apple's iPhone is one of the best selling smartphones in the world. It runs Apple's iOS (operating system) with features such as Safari, FaceTime, and Siri, a personal digital assistant. Siri can remind you of appointments, and just by speaking a song title into the phone, you can play music hands-free. Additionally, you'll find free and paid apps on Apple's App Store

WINDOWS PHONES
From Microsoft, Windows phones incorporate products such as OneDrive (for Microsoft Word, Outlook), Xbox, and Bing at the core of its operating system. It also uses Live Tiles, a main feature of Windows 8 for PCs, which keeps you updated in real time, whether it's news, the weather, or your favorite TV shows. The Window's Phone App Store is where you'll essentially power-up your phone. Example of this is Nokia Lumia.

ANDROIDS
From Google, the Android OS powers many types of smartphones on the market. An Android phone works with Google products such as Gmail, Google Drive, and Google search. Android phones can be used without having a Gmail account, but they work best with it. Popular phone brands using Android include Samsung, Nexus, HTC, Infinix, Tecno, and others. You can purchase free apps, movies, TV shows and more via the Google Play Store. Like most smartphones, Android phones come with preloaded applications.
