Wireless handheld devices
Mobile phones are portable telephones that communicate via radio signals to cellular networks—so called because users can move freely while talking.
The term is more common in British English; Americans typically say cell phones.
Modern mobile phones are smartphones with computing capabilities far beyond voice calls: internet access, cameras, apps, messaging.
