A mobile phone (also known as a wireless phone, cell phone, or cellular telephone) is a little portable radio telephone(Apple iPhone1, HTC1, Nokia1, Samsung these are the major smart phone1) .

Advancements have also been made in the field of data communication. Smart phones can send and receive data much faster than older phones. The industry uses different standards to label the data transmission rates. 2G was introduced in 1991. 2G means 2nd Generation. 2G phones transmit data at about the same speed as a 56kbps (kilabits per second) dial-up modem would get. 3G was introduced in 2002. 3G phones vary in speed, but range from about 200kbps to 14mbps (megabits per second). This is comparable to a DSL or low end Cable Modem's speed. Most smart phones use 3G technology because 2G is not fast enough to practically use e-mail, internet, and other data features. A new Generation of technology is being introduced now called 4G. 4G speeds are estimated to be as fast as 100mbps to 1gbps (gigabit per second). This would be as fast as some computer networks that use ethernet. The newest smart phones use 4G technology.
