Category:Smart phones — 'smart phones' is the name given to a generation of mobile phones with enhanced features. Typically, these multifunction devices, which operate on the GSM mobile phone networks (usually with a minimum spec of 3G), will also included internet connectivity which supports applications such as video streaming, mapping with satellite navigation, social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter, high quality still (more than 5MP) and video cameras (often HD). A key feature of all smart phones is that they can be fully customised by downloading a massive selection of 'apps' – including specifically paired-down applications such as Wikipedia and Wiktionary, YouTube, professional weather apps, and an unthinkably wide array of many other apps for sports, travel, recreation, hobbies, health, education, DIY . . . oh, and games.

Smart phones generally fall into three umbrella classes of operating systems: the majority market share is powered by Android (from Google), followed by the iPhone (from Apple), with the smallest market share by far which uses a hugely paired down version of Windows (from Microsoft).
