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

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.

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

The system on a chip (SoC) has an integrated LTE cellular chip. LTE is capable of downloading at faster speeds than older, 3G technology.

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

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

For example

AES is used to speed up encryption and decryption.

Best

Dynamic frequency scaling is a technology that allows the processor to conserve power and reduce noise when it is under a light load.

Best

Optical image stabilization uses gyroscopic sensors to detect the vibrations of the camera. The lens adjusts the optical path accordingly, ensuring that any type of motion blur is corrected before the sensor captures the image.

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

A phase detection autofocus is much faster than a contrast detection autofocus, allowing for sharper images.

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

A dual-lens camera captures two images and overlays them. This technology creates sharper images, especially in low light conditions, and allows you to use effects such as softening the background.

For example

Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.

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

A built-in FM radio tuner allows you to listen to most of the live-broadcasted FM radio stations without using the internet.

Phones with physical keyboards have dedicated media keys, such as: play, stop, next, previous, volume up/down, etc.

The device can save battery by using just a black-and-white screen with a few basic icons. This means even with a small amount of battery, you can keep the device running for a long time.

For example

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

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

Fast charging technologies, like Qualcomm’s Quick Charge or MediaTek’s Pump Express, are used to reduce the time it takes to charge a device. For example, with Quick Charge 3.0, the battery can be charged to 50% in just 30 minutes.

An indicator shows you when the device has low battery.

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.

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

AVCHD (Advanced Video Coding High Definition) is a file-based format for the digital recording and playback of high-definition video. It's a standard popular among professional cameras and camcorders.

For example

A system camera has lots of changeable parts such as lenses, flashes and other accessories. They offer greater flexibility than compact cameras.
