Micro SD cards are used for storing data on mobile phones, GPS navigation and other portable devices.

Bluetooth is the communication tool used by a huge amount of electronics. Learn how the frequency signal is generated and how it's used. In a simple overview of the different versions, we will show how Bluetooth has evolved and been refined. You can also learn something about the specifications and security of this communication standard.

A device that receives a GPS signal to determine and record a location. GPS modules can be found in car and motorcycle navigation systems, cyclocomputers, sporttesters and GPS locators.

LTE (Long Term Evolution) marks the next generation of mobile data networks. This is an intermediate step between 3G and 4G. Although manufacturers and operators sometimes mistakenly refer to it as 4G, it is not a full 4G network. That's for LTE Advanced. The maximum theoretical data transfer rate is up to 175Mbps for download and up to 57.6Mbps for sending data in one frequency band. 

A digital compass (magnetic sensor) detects the earth's magnetic field to determine the cardinal points. This enables the phone to correctly rotate the map to fit your orientation.

An ambient light sensor that monitors the ambient light levels and dynamically adjusts the display backlight intensity. A practical and handy feature, it is part of most modern phones.

Az Android a Google által kifejlesztett operációs rendszer, amelyet jelenleg a legtöbb mobiltelefon-gyártó használ. Ez egy nyílt operációs rendszer, amely gyakorlatilag korlátlan testreszabási lehetőségekkel rendelkezik. Egyes módosítások az alapbeállítások segítségével végezhetők el, míg más módosítások bármikor letölthetők a Google Play áruházból. A felhasználó így nagyon könnyen módosíthatja nemcsak a grafikus felületet, hanem a telefon kezelésének módját is. Az Android gyenge pontja a rosszindulatú támadásokra való nagyobb fogékonyság. Az egyes operációs rendszerek részletesebb leírása, előnyeik és hátrányaik a Mobil operációs rendszerek összehasonlítása című cikkben található.
