SMARTPHONE DEVICES Flashcards
Often known as cellular phones, are compact, inexpensive, and portable devices.
MOBILE PHONE
Refers to a handheld electronic
device that provides a connection to a cellular network
Introduced to the world in 1994 by IBM
but have since expanded to include companies like Apple and Samsung.
SMART PHONE
Portable devices that perform all of the operations of a computer, including a touchscreen display, internet connection, and an operating system.
SMART PHONE
Responsible for games to support motion-based navigation
Gyroscope
TYPES OF SMARTPHONES
Amazon’s Fire Phone
Windows Phone

iPhone
Allow screens to display in portrait and landscape mode.
Accelerometers
FEATURES OF SMARTPHONES
Internet Connectivity
Crystal-clear Display
Digital Camera
Infrared Remote control
Fingerprint Sensor
It is manufactured by Apple company and runs Apple’s iOS with features like FaceTime, Safari, and Siri, a personal digital
assistant.
iPhone
Support Google product like Google search, Google Drive, and Gmail. It work best with having a Gmail account; however, they can be used without having it.
Android
It includes Xbox, OneDrive (for Microsoft Word, Outlook), and Bing in terms of the operating system. For PCs, it uses the main
feature of Windows 8, Live Tiles, which helps to keep updating you with TV shows, news, or others.
Windows Phone
a type of smartphone, which has
many features of note. Fire technology is more useful in terms of identifying QR codes, bar codes, songs, and TV shows. Another feature is Amazon Prime
The regular price of this is phone is $450.

RAM
Storage
Network
Mobile phones run on so-called embedded chips, which are designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions, often with real-time computing constraints. They are embedded as part of the
complete device including hardware and mechanical parts.
CHIPSET
Otherwise known as a processor
An electronic circuit that can execute computer programs.
CPU
the fundamental rate in cycles per second (measured in hertz, kilohertz, megahertz or
gigahertz) for the frequency of the clock in any synchronous circuit.
CPU CLOCK RATE
A specialized circuit designed to accelerate the image output in a frame buffer intended for output to a display.
GPU
This is the memory where the software resides while it is running
along with the data it is using.
Very fast but volatile, meaning that all information is lost
when electric power is cut off
RAM
Unlike in the early days of the smartphone, storage has immensely increased, and what you previously paid big bucks for is not even considered the bare minimum anymore. There was also a more
expensive 32GB variant.
STORAGE
The amount of traffic that a network
can handle at any given time. This includes the number of simultaneous voice calls and maximum data speeds. Capacity varies by area.
The geographical area covered by the network of a service
provider.
Network Capacity
The letters IP stand for Ingress Protection
The ability to stop elements such as sand and water from getting inside and damaging an electronic device.
IP(INGRESS PROTECTION) CODE
IP ratings are defined by them
International Electronics Commission
(IEC).
This measures acceleration, the rate of change in velocity and it is
based on a MEMS, Micro Electro Mechanical System sensor.
ACCELEROMETER
Is short for a Gyroscope Sensor.
This measures change in orientation and angular velocity
GYRO
This is an optical infrared light sensor technology and the operation mechanism looks like this, where infrared light is absorbed by blood and that is measured.
HEART RATE SENSOR
Is used to measure atmospheric pressure, it is used in meteorology, as well as atmospheric sensing.

GYRO
It has a seamless interface such that the surface becomes seamless in its overall shape. In addition, it provides a very smooth luxurious field. This is why it is perfect for smartphones, and that is why
shatterproof glass is commonly used.
SHATTERPROOF GLASS
A specialized toughened shatter proof glass, that is scratch resistant. It is there to prevent deep scratches.
GORILLA GLASS
This is used on iPhones. The physical property of a molecule that is repelled from oil, this means oleophobic means
fear of oil. This is used on smartphones surfaces for fingerprint resistance and anti-smudging.
OLEOPHOBIC COATING
Active-Matrix Organic LightEmitting Diode technology.
Display technologies is used in TVs and smart phones
AMOLED
Improved sunlight reflection characteristics, improved version of AMOLED. This improves the screens outdoor viewing, making it brighter and easier to view outdoors.
SUPER AMOLED
Next step in evolution of Super
AMOLED Technology. This is based on a 1080p HD resolution Super
AMOLED display.
HD SUPER AMOLED
This is the WQHD resolution,
which is above 2560 by 1440 Super AMOLED displays.
WQHD SUPER AMOLED
This is an LCD screen technology used for liquid crystal layer molecule orientation. So, it’s arranging and switching between the glass substrates.
IN-PLANE SWITCHIN - IPS
This is an improvement compared to the former CCFL, the Cold Cathode Fluorescent in Backlit LCDs, these were the former version of LCD display technology
LED-BACKLIT LCD DISPLAY
This was established in December of 2008 and it has the objectives of to
create a universal wireless power charging standard that can enable
various mobile electronic devices to be placed on top of a single power
transfer pad and the technology was magnetic induction charging.
WIRELESS POWER CONSORTIUM
This is a global non-profit industry
organization that was founded by Procter & Gamble and Powermat Technologies in 2012. The characteristics include inductive coupling, digital transceiver communication and cloud-based power management.
POWER MATTERS ALLIANCE
Was founded in 2012. It developed the
Rezence standard, which has this logo right here. This is an interface standard for wireless electrical power transfer that is based on magnetic resonance and you can see that rezence is similar to the word
“resonance.”
ALLIANCE FOR WIRELESS POWER
Founded by the merger of the A4WP and the PMA in 2015. Both characteristics of the A4WP and PMA were joined into
one overall standard by the AirFuel Alliance, which uses this logo.
AIRFUEL ALLIANCE
First looking at the standardization, for Inductive there’s the WPC and
the PMA, but the PMA was a part of the merger that is now the AirFuel
Alliance. Then, the resonant is the A4WP, which was also included in the
merger of the AirFuel Alliance. Now, looking into the power transmission
characteristics that are used in charging.
