Smart phone is a term for distinguishing mobile phones with advanced features from basic feature phones.
Early smart phones typically combined the features of a mobile phone with those of another popular
consumer device, such as a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a media player, a digital camera, and GPS
navigation unit. Modern smart phones include all of those features plus the features of a laptop, including
web browsing, Wi-Fi, and 3rd-party apps and accessories. Customer satisfaction is a term frequently used
