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

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

Best

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

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.

The graphics processing unit (GPU) has a higher clock speed.

Best

It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance.

Best

With integrated graphics you don’t need to buy a separate graphics card.

More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.

Best

Out-of-order execution is used in CPUs to make use of instruction cycles that would normally be wasted due to delays.

This is the maximum rate that data can be read from or stored into memory.

Best

Best

The maximum resolution available for videos shot with the main camera. Although it may be possible to choose among other frame rates, those recordings usually have lower resolutions.

Best

Best

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.

Best

The pixel size measures the length of the individual photodetectors (pixels) in the image sensor. Larger pixels can capture more light, providing better image quality and improved low-light performance.

Best

A flash is good for low-light environments, and can sometimes be used as flashlight.

With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.

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

Best

It works as an FM radio with included headsets

The music player can be blindly used.

For example

Best

The manufacturer offers a branded wireless charging kit. To charge the device, you simply put it down on its charging base.

For example

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

An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.

The battery can be recharged and used over again.

Offline voice recognition enables you to perform voice actions, like dictating texts or using various voice commands, without an internet connection.

Anyone is free to use, copy, study, and change the software in any way, and the source code is openly shared so that people are encouraged to voluntarily improve the design of the software.

If an app has sharing capabilities and the developers have indicated it, the app will automatically appear in your list of sharing options. Some OS’s limit direct sharing options to a select few apps, which means you have to open apps separately in order to upload the files you want to share.

Best

Floating-point performance is a measurement of the raw processing power of the GPU.

Best

Built-in FM transmitter allows you to wirelessly stream music from your device to any radio, e.g. in your car, at a predefined frequency.

For example

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.

Best

24p is a video format (24 frames per second) traditionally used in cinema. Nowadays, it is used to create film-like motion characteristics.

For example

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