Screen Technology or Display Technology:
Screen technology or display technology supports the better performance of touchscreen like sharpness, brightness, life span etc. There are basically two categories in screen technology:
TFT LCD: Thin Film Transistor (TFT) technology is most common technology for gadgets screen. This type of LCD offers better image quality and high resolution than earlier LCD displays but have poor visibility in direct light or sunlight.
IPS-LCD: In Place Switching (IPS) LCD is better than TFT LCD and has much improved battery life but it is costlier than TFT LCD.
OLED: In Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology a layer of organic material is added between two conducting sheets and electric pulse is applied due to which screen changes the brightness and color. It is better than the earlier one because it has fast response time, wider viewing angles, higher brightness and also it is light-weighted.
Retina Display: This type of screen technology is used in apple’s phone with resolution 640X960 pixels. It makes the display super sharp and brilliant as pixels cannot identify by the human eye.
Processor is used to execute the program running in the device or you can say that a processor is brain of the device which controls the entire tasks. High processor speed is good for multiple tasking whereas low processor speed slowly downs the function of the processor.
Number of core in the processor is for executing the task smoothly. There are different categories in the processor: Dual Core, Quad Core and Octa Core. Multi tasking is also possible with the better processor.
In processor, higher the clock speed better will be the performance.
The device memory is called internal memory which is used to store installed app, pictures and other private data. More the internal memory results in more storage of apps and data.
The external memory is the expandable memory that can be added to extend the storage capacity of the phone. To extend the memory, microSD card is required.
The capacity denotes the life time of the battery in one charge. It is measured by the unit mAh. More capacity means more life time which reduces the need of the charging.
There are two types of batteries in the smart phones. One is removable and other is non removable. Removable battery can be replaced once it dead but non removable cannot replaceable only its service center will help you. Non removable battery has extra protection from dust and water as there is less opening to mobile’s internal parts.
