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

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.
