2. Sensors Temperature An infrared (IR) temperature measurement system consists of sensor module and electronics as well as an optomechanical system that guides IR radiation onto the sensor.

3. Altitude Using the simply-titled Barometer app on   Android , we calibrate the needle to zero so we   know   how it moves over time. In addition to being able to predict the weather , you   can check   your current   altitude . ... If you don't change   altitudes , the barometric reading will remain accurate .

4. Magnetic field sensor A system called Pulse uses the  magnetic field sensor , or  magnetometer ,  for  the compass app in iPhones and  Android phones , to receive messages in the form of a varying  magnetic field  produced by a nearby electromagnet.

5. GPS Ah, GPS—Global Positioning System technology—where would we be without you? Probably in a remote, muddy field, cursing the day we ditched our paper maps for the electronic equivalents.

6. Accelerometer Accelerometers handle axis- based motion sensing and can be found in fitness trackers as well as phones — they’re the reason why your smartphone can track your steps even if you haven’t bought a separate wearable.

7. raDIO RadioMobile is a free software for calculating long distance radio links on uneven terrain . For this , it uses geographical profiles combined with the information of the equipment ( power , receiver sensitivity , antenna characteristics , losses , etc.)

8. WIRELESS DATA NETWORK 4G A 4G system must provide capabilities defined by ITU in IMT Advanced. Potential and current applications include amended mobile web access, IP telephony, gaming services, high-definition mobile TV, video conferencing, and 3D television.

9. 5G   5G  is the 5th generation  mobile network . ...  5G wireless  technology is meant to deliver higher multi-Gbps peak  data  speeds, ultra low latency, more reliability, massive  network  capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform user experience to more users.

10. WI-FI WiFi phone is a telecom device that's equipped with the capability to connect to the Internet through a WiFi network. When using these devices, you are able to make phone calls, receive/send messages through a WiFi connection.

11. Bluetooth Bluetooth is an industry specification for Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN) created by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, Inc. that enables the transmission of voice and data between different devices using a radio frequency link in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.

12. Usb port A standard type of  USB  connector, often found on phones and other mobile devices, for connecting those devices to chargers, computers, TVs, cars, and more. A single micro- USB port can support  many types of connections depending on the phone settings and the device at the other end of the cable.

13. motherboard Motherboard , logic board, or main bored, no matter you call it, it's all the same thing. It sounds like an alien spaceship but it's actually the part of your  phone  that contains all of the most fundamental components, including memory and central processing.

14. Storage technology It is important to note that the type of storage that comes stock in most Android mobile devices is solid state drives. These are, essentially, flash memory drives that store all of your data locally. Unlike other types of hard drives, these solid-state drives have no moving parts whatsoever.

15. screen technology There are many  display  types used in smartphones: LCD, OLED, AMOLED, Super AMOLED, TFT, IPS and a few others that are less frequently found on smartphones nowadays, like TFT-LCD. One of the most frequently found on mid-to-high range  phones  now is IPS-LCD.
