The bigger the screen size is, the better the user experience.

The device has a standard memory slot (such as an SD or micro SD card slot) so that you can either extend the internal storage with affordable memory modules or you can retrieve data, such as photographs, easily from a memory card.

Damage resistant glass (such as Corning Gorilla Glass or Asahi Dragontrail Glass) is thin and lightweight, and can withstand high levels of force.

The battery is removable and can be replaced by the user if broken.

It can be charged and operated with a standard USB cable connected to your computer, or with a USB power supply.

It can transfer files, music, photos via USB, no need to install additional software.

All DLNA certified products are compatible with one another. When different devices are connected to the same network, data can be transferred easily between them.

NFC (near field communication) allows a device to perform simple wireless transactions.

You can shoot multiple pictures in a row.

AMOLED displays, also known as active matrix OLED displays, offer higher refresh rates and consume less power than other types of displays.

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) describes how much radio frequency energy emitted by the device will be absorbed by your body. The rate is measured at head level. The legal limit is 1.6 W/kg in the USA.

A faster maximum shutter speed allows taking pictures of fast moving subjects without blur.

When the camera shutter is open for a long time, more light is absorbed by the sensor. You can use this slow shutter speed to produce vivid night time photography, or capture the trajectory of moving objects such as motorway traffic.

the screen switchws off if you are not looking at it

This means photos are much more sharper and can be taken in less than 0.5 seconds

This speaker is louder and clearer

Able to see notification without turning on the screen

The device has a display with three full subpixels per pixel, resulting in a sharp and crisp picture. Pixels in some displays (like AMOLED) share one subpixel to preserve space. This can result in a less crisp, slightly blurred image.

It can be updated directly by the OS vendor, so no need to wait until the manufacturer or network provider releases an update.

A dedicated camera button allows you to take snapshots more easily.

IPS (In-Plane Switching) is a technology used for LCDs. It was designed to overcome the main limitations of normal TFTs TN-matrices: relatively slow response times, small viewing angles and low quality color reproduction.

With a wider aperture the sensor can capture more light, helping to avoid blur by enabling a faster shutter speed. It also provides a shallow depth of field, allowing you to blur the background to focus attention on the subject.

More microphones result in better sound quality and enable the device to filter out background noise.

With AF tracking, once you choose the subject and press the shutter release part way down, as the subject moves, the autofocus will follow it. No more out of focus shots.

SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) describes how much radio frequency energy emitted by the device will be absorbed by your body. The rate is measured at hip level. The legal limit is 1.6 W/kg in the USA.

AirPlay allows wireless connection of Apple devices with external screens or speakers. You may stream computer screen, video and music from iOS devices, play games like on consoles or present your slideshows easily on your TV.

The amount of time it takes the camera to take a photo, without having to focus.

It takes less time for the camera to turn on and take a first picture.
