A smartphone can install various applications that can perform several advanced functions. Smartphones have become popular because of their many capabilities and are often used for communication and online activities. Advances in technology have led to smartphones being more compact and cheaper than other mobile devices such as tablets, phablets and PDAs.
One of the major trends upcoming in this market is increase in demand for large-screen size smartphones. With the emergence of new technologies such as cloud computing, virtualization, and deployment of next-generation LTE wireless networks such as 3G and 4G, consumers are actively browsing the internet, playing games, and watching videos on their smartphones, driving the demand for smartphones worldwide.
