So, what makes Phones and Wearables so important?

Phones and Wearable devices have revolutionised the way we do things. One can hardly imagine living without them in the present age. The beloved phone that you have now, and the ones that are yet to come, offer a ton of benefits, among which includes connecting you to the world, keeping you updated with all the latest happenings. Smartphones are, as the name suggest, smart devices that are here to make your life simpler and easier. Smartphones show you time, date, calculate numbers, wake you up when you want them to, remind you of something important, and find location through the GPS navigation. They come with cameras so that you can click pictures and make videos which you can cherish later. To keep your boredom away, your phones can play audio and video, and be your e-book reader or your gaming device. The recorder in a phone provides another advantage of recording your own voice and also that of others.

Wearables are smart electronic devices that easily syncs with your smartphones and they can be worn on your body. Wearable devices are of different kinds such as Smart Bands (also known as Fitness Trackers), Smart Watches, VR Headsets, etc. Wearable devices allow you to track your movement all day long and can measure your distance travelled, calories burned, monitor your heart rate to give you a comprehensive report of your overall health. In case you visit a doctor, you can share these statistics with them for a more comprehensive treatment. Smartwatches provide you with a lot of handy features. They can continuously track your heart rate, calories burned, number of steps taken and even blood oxygen levels. Smartwatches also allow you to manage all the notifications from your phone from the comfort of your wrist. Fitness trackers are also high in demand. Fitness trackers are dedicated towards health while some models do offer additional smartwatch specific features for added functionality. Apple watch has been one of the most successful smartwatches and provides tons of features that make your life easier and allow you to stay healthy. Apple watch is the most customizable smartwatch till date. Samsung smartwatch offers several models designed for people with varying needs. It gives you intuitive ways to interact with the watch. The digital crown is one-of-a-kind input method which greatly enhances the ease of use for Samsung Gear series smartwatch. They also feature a built-in GPS chip which allows you to leave your smartphone at home while going on a run. VR (Virtual Reality) headsets and glasses are devices what one’s wear on his/her eye; they feature a slot to insert your smartphone. With the use of virtual reality headsets, computer technologies are able to replicate a real environment or an imaginary setting, with visuals, sounds and sensations. You can enjoy an immersive experience while watching movies and playing games like never before with this technology.

All that is fine, but what about technology?

From pressing on keys, we moved to pressing the screen directly; we have seen the shift from MBs to GBs, from zero camera to five cameras, from a few megapixels to more than hundred megapixels, from simple calls and games to video calls and high-end games, from flip to foldable phones, the growth story of phones has been phenomenal, and, of course, one can never know what marvels the future holds. Mobile technology has advanced drastically and it keeps on evolving. The future will bring enormous development in the telephony segment, and connection will become seamless like never before. Let’s understand a bit of the technology behind Phones and Wearables.

For the purpose of connection, phones use CDMA, GSM, LTE technologies. CDMA stands for Code Division Multiple Access; phones with this network come with built-in chip, which means there is no way of switching to any network other than the one which comes with the phone. GSM stands for Global System for Mobile communication; this is the network which is most popular throughout the world. The phones that supports GSM come with separate slot for inserting SIM card, and you can choose whichever network service provider you like. LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the 4G standard accepted globally, and most new phones utilize 4G for the transmission of data. The term VoLTE, that one often hears a phone supports, refers to Voice over Long Term Evolution which is a way of making calls by using data packet (data which is transmitted through the internet) instead of depending on traditional voice calls. VoLTE has made roaming call charges a thing of the past.

Mobile communication standards are named as 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G. The G stands for generation, which is a way of identifying as well as marketing the service packages with different prices. The era of 1G and 2G are gone. We are presently in the world of 3G and 4G. While 3G has data bandwidth of 2 Mbps – 21 Mbps, 4G has bandwidth of 2 Mbps – 1 Gbps. Each new generation gets better and brings in a faster and smoother way of communication. And as with any electronic devices, the new makes the old obsolete after a certain time. New phones and smart wearables have faster speed, better coverage and reliability. 5G is one such advancement in the mobile phone sphere. It is yet in its nascent stage, but it promises to change the way we communicate. If 4G network seems to do wonders for us, 5G would do ten times more wonders. Smartphones with 5G network would allow high speed and seamless internet connectivity which would particularly help in every real time applications, such as operating self-driving cars which requires a continuous stream of fast internet for receiving signals. Even though 4G provides us a good connection over the internet but it still stops working when you are at a certain place (such as when you are in a running train), with 5G such disturbances are supposed to be completely curtailed. Voice and video calls would be much better than it is at present.

While there are a few operating systems, but let us save some time and only emphasize on two which are the most popular, namely Android and iOS. The operating system which is designed only for iPhone and other Apple devices such as iPad, iPod is called iOS. Android is an open-source platform (which allows third parties to use the interface) designed by the search engine giant Google. Android phones are comparatively easier to use than iPhones, but iPhones have better security features. BlackBerry phones, which are not many in the market (but available at Croma), used to have its own operating system but it now relies on Android.

Other factors to consider while looking up for a phone are: Memory (the RAM and the internal memory; more the capacity, more the storage, also, most phones come with expandable memory feature); chipset (such as Snapdragon by Qualcomm, Exynos by Samsung, Kirin by Huawei; the latest version of these chipsets provide a faster and smoother user experience); the battery life which determines how many hours the battery of a phone will last; battery charging technology (such as Dash Charge and Warp Charge by OnePlus, Adaptive Fast Charging by Samsung; Oppo has shown the capability of charging its phone Reno Ace with VOOC technology from zero to 100 percent under 30 minutes). Phones and Wearables are aware of their environment; they have various kinds of sensors (like fingerprint, proximity, compass, etc.) which understands our commands, movements, gestures, and environmental conditions, and accordingly helps us achieve the desired outcome. The photographer in you would surely want a great camera in a phone that captures all the details and comes with good zooming ability, not just the rear camera but the selfie lover should also have a reason to feel good, thus a phone with great rear and front camera will do the trick.

Mobile accessories such as cases and covers, mobile chargers, USB cables and connectors, mobile anti-virus, and selfie sticks not only protect your mobile phones but also come handy in case of an emergency.
