The Difference Between Cell Phones and Smart Phones

Cell phone is a traditional phone that is used to make calls and send text messages
only, has few features, is generally based on simplicity of use, and costs less than a
smartphone, whereas a smartphone is an advanced device that provides the user with
an advanced operating system and a store for applications and features, and it has a

Smartphone Components

The Smartphone Consists of Basic Components:
• CPU: The CPU is the brain of any electrical device. It is responsible for processing
data in order to carry out certain duties and managing commands for the rest of
the components to perform operations or algorithms. Smartphone processors
were created to be tiny in size while providing high capabilities. They are also
designed to work in low-power environments to save battery charging and to
work for longest time possible, the processors are different based on the price
group to which the smartphone version is targeted. Medium-processor types
are suitable for regular tasks such as browsing the Internet, using office
applications, and other similar tasks. Powerful gaming and virtual reality
applications require processors from the leading categories, which are going to
increase in price. Processors measure with gigahertz (GHz).
