'''Category:Smartphone''' — 'smartphone' is the generic name given to a evolution of {{tag|mobile phones}} with enhanced features. The Oxford English Dictionary definition of [[Oxford-dict:smartphone|smartphone]] states "(a) mobile phone that performs many of the functions of a computer, typically having a touchscreen interface, internet access, and an operating system capable of running downloaded apps". Typically, these multifunction devices operate on the {{tag|GSM}} (Global System for Mobile) mobile phone networks; usually with a minimum specification of 3G (third generation), though 4G (fourth generation) is required to exploit their full functionality. Their included 'always on' {{tag|internet}} connectivity allows support for a range of [[:Category:Applications|applications]] (commonly known merely as 'apps'); such as video streaming, mapping with satellite navigation, social media sites such as {{tag|Facebook}} and {{tag|Twitter}}, high quality still- (more than 5MP) and video-cameras (often HD). A key feature of all smartphones is that they can be fully customised by downloading a massive selection of 'apps'; including specifically paired-down applications such as [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] and [[:Category:Wiktionary|Wiktionary]], [[:Category:YouTube|YouTube]], professional [[:Category:Weather|weather]] apps, and an unthinkably wide array of many other apps for business, commerce, finance, sports, travel, recreation, hobbies, health, education, DIY, lifestyles . . . oh, and games. | '''Category:Smartphone''' — 'smartphone' is the generic name given to a evolution of {{tag|mobile phones}} with enhanced features.

Smartphones generally fall into four umbrella classes of [[:Category:Operating system|operating systems]] (OS): the majority market share is powered by {{tag|Android}} (from {{tag|Google}}), followed by the {{tag|iOS}} (from {{tag|Apple}}), then {{tag|Blackberry}} (from RiM), and finally the smallest market share by far which uses a hugely paired down version of {{tag|Windows}} (from {{tag|Microsoft}}). | Smartphones generally fall into four umbrella classes of [[:Category:Operating system|operating systems]] (OS): the majority market share is powered by {{tag|Android}} (from {{tag|Google}}), followed by the {{tag|iOS}} (from {{tag|Apple}}), then {{tag|Blackberry}} (from RiM), and finally the smallest market share by far which uses a hugely paired down version of [[:Category:Windows|Windows]] called {{tag|Windows Mobile}} (from {{tag|Microsoft}}). | ||
