Connected pocket computer
A smartphone is a mobile phone with computing capabilities—internet access, apps, cameras, and touchscreen interface.
The term emerged in the 1990s but became ubiquitous after 2007 with devices like the iPhone.
Smartphones have largely replaced separate cameras, GPS units, and music players: I left my smartphone at home and felt completely lost.
