maintained for the next four iterations.

The iPhone 3G added 3G cellular network capabilities and A-GPS location.
The iPhone 3GS added a faster processor and a higher-resolution camera that could
record video at 480p.
The iPhone 4 featured a higher-resolution 960×640 Retina Display, a VGA front-facing
camera for video calling and other apps and a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with 720p

traded companies by 2011.

with a touchscreen interface.

5. SONY XPERIA
XPERIA IS THE BRAND NAME OF SMARTPHONES AND TABLETS FROM SONY
mobile.
The name Xperia is derived from the word experience and was first used in the Xperia X1
tagline.
Sony Xperia was previously known globally as Sony Ericsson before re-branding in 2012,
as a result of the mobile phone manufacturer being taken over and solely owned by Son.
History
The Xperia X1 was the first phone to be released in the Xperia range.
Released in 2008, it featured a high resolution display and was intended to fill the
widening gap of smartphones as other competitors were producing high-end smartphone
devices such as HTC and Apple.

6. 4 FOR iPHONE LOVERS
The X2 was released in the following year, which included an 8.1 MP camera and included
Wifi and GPS.
By this time there was a clear shift towards the smartphone end of the spectrum.
An exception was the Xperia Pureness, a translucent phone without camera that was sold
by selected retailers in selected cities.
The Xperia X5 Pureness is based on Sony Ericsson’s proprietary operating system.
The X10 was released at the start of 2010.
It was the first in the Xperia line to feature the Android operating system, where previous
models ran on the Windows Mobile OS.
The phone was praised on its design, but its downfall was the outdated version of
Android which was 1.6 at a time when competitors were on 2.1.
There was a great delay in the update of the firmware, due to the heavily skinned OS, as
well as Timescape and Mediascape which needed to be reprogrammed every time an
update was made.
The phone also lacked pinch to zoom, but this was added later as well as HD video
recording.
The X10 Mini and the X10 Mini Pro were, as the name suggests, miniature versions of the
X10.
These were welcomed with good response and proved to be very popular as there were
no other smartphones on the market at that time which were as small as the two.
