Smartphones
Your mobile phone doesn’t have to be just a mobile phone any more. With a smartphone you can browse the internet, check emails, use instant messaging and more – all from a device that fits in your pocket. In fact, a smartphone is a computer as much as it’s a mobile phone.

Smartphones explained
Smartphones use the same technology as normal mobile phones to make and receive calls. They can send text messages, pick up voicemails and do all the other things you might want from a mobile phone.
However, the most noticeable difference with smartphones is that they tend to have big, clear screens. These are often touch-sensitive and take up the entire front of the phone. Smartphones are also equipped with powerful computer chips and a fast data connection, so they can connect to the internet while you’re out and about.
Most smartphones have cameras and some even have GPS chips (for satellite navigation). And, just like your computer, smartphones allow you to download and install different applications (‘apps’) to perform particular tasks.
Thousands of apps are available, from games to more ‘serious’ apps like document editing tools, navigation systems and all sorts.
What you can do with a smartphone
As well as making and receiving calls, smartphones can be very useful for:
- Accessing websites while you’re out and about.
- Sending and receiving email, so you can reply more quickly.
- Taking photos and videos.
- Listening to music and recording audio memos.
- Viewing and editing documents.
- Checking your diary and adding new appointments.
Size, weight and battery life are key when you choose a smartphone. With their big screens and powerful computer chips, smartphones can run out of power faster than normal mobile phones. Similarly, they can be a little more bulky.
However, once you’ve tried a smartphone, you’ll never want to go back to your old mobile phone. In fact, you’ll stop seeing your phone as a simple phone at all. What you have in your pocket is an entire computer.
