Smart Phones From China Is Eye-catching

A smartphone is a mobile phone offering advanced capabilities

, often with PC-like functionality (PC-mobile handset convergence). There is no industry standard definition of a smartphone. For some, a smartphone is a phone that runs complete operating system software providing a standardized interface and platform for application developers.For others, a smartphone is simply a phone with features considered advanced at the time of its release - e.g., in the early 2000s this was features such as e-mail and Internet, but now these are commonplace on non-smartphones. Other definitions might include features such as e-book reader capabilities, Wi-Fi, and/or a built-in full keyboard or external USB keyboard and VGA connector. In other words, it is a miniature computer that has phone capability.

Growth in demand for advanced mobile devices boasting powerful processors, abundant memory, larger screens and open operating systems has outpaced the rest of the mobile phone market for several years. Smartphones are upturning the mobile gaming market, comScore found in a study today. The number of players on iPhones and other smartphones has jumped 60 percent in the past year to almost 21.4 million and has cut deeply into the portion of those using regular cellphones. Their numbers dropped a sharp 35 percent over the same period to just 29.5 million.

Smartphone owners were also much more likely to be interested in gaming, not only playing more often but taking more interest in game genres as a whole. About 47.1 percent of smartphone owners play at least one game per month versus 15.7 percent on feature phones; 13.3 percent of those smartphone owners play every day. Most of the gaming habits skewed towards puzzles and traditional board games, but the usage rates across smartphone users were in all cases multiple times larger.

Much of the switch stemmed from a move towards a "higher quality experience," according to the findings. Smartphones often have larger screens and faster processors, especially in graphics, and tend to have full operating systems with true native apps where feature phones are often limited to simpler BREW and Java.
