The biometric technology of fingerprinting has undergone significant developments in recent years. Old scanning methods are gradually being replaced by new and more efficient methods. How do these latest fingerprint scanning technologies work?

You can connect your phone to external devices via USB-OTG (On-The-Go). Devices such as flash drives, SD card readers, mice, keyboards, game controllers etc.

Fast charging is a technology that allows you to charge your phone more efficiently. Whereas previously the smartphone needed three hours to charge 100%, today less than half the time for the same battery size is just enough.

Reverse wireless charging is a technology that allows the use of energy, for example on a mobile phone to wirelessly charge another device, such as a smart watch. Therefore, you do not have to travel with two chargers.

Modern smartphones have all sorts of fun features, but plugging in the charger and cable every day does get annoying. Read our tips to learn how to set up wireless charging so you can keep your phone powered 24/7.

A mobile phone is considered shockproof if its design can withstand higher mechanical stress. Its manufacturer usually states from which height the phone can fall without damage, but detailed conditions of impact resistance of individual models may differ.

A mobile phone is water resistant if it meets a certified level of durability that allows total immersion. When it comes to mobile phones, it is the specification of the IP67, IP68, or IP69 Ingress Protection rating.

IP69 indicates the degree of protection of a device that can withstand even high-pressure water (e.g. from a pressure washer) and is also dustproof.

A P-OLED kijelzők műanyag hordozót használnak, amely lehetővé teszi, hogy rugalmasak legyenek. A nem-P-OLED kijelzők azonban szintén műanyag hordozót használnak, de csak egy gyártó használja ezt a megnevezést. Mi is az a P-OLED valójában, és miben különbözik például az AMOLED technológiától?

Egyre inkább ismert és egyre szélesebb körben elterjedt. Ez a Corning Gorilla Glass védőüveg, amely növeli az okostelefonok, a hordható elektronikai eszközök és még számos egyéb termék ellenálló képességét.

The macro lens is used to shoot close objects with high detail, often at short distance of a few centimeters. It is therefore suitable for photographing insects or flowers.

A telephoto lens is a lens that allows you to “bring“ a distant object closer to your phone without physically approaching it. Most mobile phones zoom in two to five times.

The wide-angle lens allows the device to take photos at a wider angle than the phone' s primary lens. Therefore you will be able to fit such things into picture, for which you would normally need to take a few steps back and that is not always possible, for example indoors.

It software-wise compensates for shakes during video recording, thereby helping to achieve smoother and less shaky footage. The image is stabilized by digitally shifting its crop.

Mechanically compensates for hand shake during photography and video recording. Ensures sharper images in low light and smoother video footage without loss of image quality.

A-GPS is a sophisticated GPS protocol that helps you quickly locate your mobile device.

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.

NFC (Near Field Communication) is a wireless communication used to establish a connection between portable devices, over a very short distance, only up to 4cm. Previously, NFC was used to transfer photos and videos, but you'll often hear about it in connection with contactless payments.

Az UWB technológia, közismert nevén ultraszéles sávú technológia egy olyan vezeték nélküli technológia, amely egyre gyakrabban jelenik meg az újonnan bevezetett telefonokban. Széles, akár 500 MHz-es frekvenciasávban működik, ami többszöröse a WiFi vagy a Bluetooth frekvenciájának. Ennek eredményeképpen sokkal több adatot tud továbbítani rövidebb idő alatt. Emellett néhány centiméteres pontossággal képes meghatározni a készülék helyét, de egyéb előnyei is vannak.

Fifth generation of mobile networks, so-called 5G, is a new standard whose parameters significantly exceed the current 4G networks. It brings up to a tenfold increase in speed, which together with a reduction in response time guarantees a highly stable Internet connection for virtually any device.

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. 

NanoSIM is the smallest, most advanced type of SIM card.

Plastic SIM cards are already dying a slow death. The future is eSIM technology. It is a separate chip that is built into the phone. What will change from using plastic SIM cards? Does the new modern eSIM technology have any pitfalls?

VoLTE (Voice over LTE) is an LTE technology that enables voice service over LTE. The standard must be supported by both your phone operator and the phone itself in order to work. Its advantages are high call quality and faster network connection.

A legújabb USB-csatlakozó a Type-C jelölést viseli. Az előzőektől eltérő alakjának köszönhetően mindkét oldalról be lehet dugni, azonban ez a USB 2.0 és USB 3.0 / 3.1 portokkal való visszafelé kompatibilitás rovására megy. Az adatátviteli sebesség eléri a 10 Gbit/s-ot.

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.

The motion of a gyroscope rotates in space on all three axes. In this case, it determines the direction in which you are moving your phone.

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. It turns the display brightness to the maximum in bright sunlight and dims the backlight in the dark. This makes the phone’s display perfectly readable in all lighting conditions without straining your eyes.

Accelerometers and G-Sensors are motion sensors that determine the tilt in space. The phone uses it to know which way it is being held, e.g. portrait, landscape or upside down.

The vast majority of modern mobile phones are equipped with a proximity sensor. Its task is to evaluate the distance of an object from the sensor. Once the object gets close, the telephone activates a particular function. One of the most common is the function to turn off the screen and the touch layer when the user dials a phone number and places the phone close to his ear.

Time-of-Flight is a type of sensor that measures the distance of objects based on the time difference between the emission of a signal and its return to the sensor, whether in form of light or sound. It falls into 3D scanning technology and has a broad area of application.

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.
