Chip

Chip is a system semiconductor of which Android is built on. The word ic (Integrated Circuit) as is called is made up of many components like resistor, capacitor, diode, transistors etc. These components are integrated together to make the word integrated circuit. 

In Android phone we have many IC of different functions and sizes but the main chip now is the semiconductor that controls a particular android. This means that other components are built around this chip. Sometimes the difference is not much only different producers.  Example of these chips are MTK, RDA, SPD, Qualcomm, Coolpad, ARM etc.

Processor

Processor is the same thing as CPU (Central Processing Unit) this is the brain that controls an Android phone. Just like PC processor oversees the speed of the Android phone. 

Processor has to do with speed and is measured in GHz (GigaHertz) as you can see Android are gradually taking the space of computer as the processor speed are same thing of computers. But one thing is sure here, no matter the speed of the phone it still lags especially during heavy browsing activates. Processor is interconnected with RAM and storage of android phone. 

RAM

RAM (Random Access Memory) is a chip that stores data or codes that can only be used temporarily. The code and data being stored by RAM is used currently. What ram does on an Android phone is to enable minimization of programs without closing the programs.

 Depending on the configuration RAM helps to remember those programs in use before a phone was restarted or reboot. RAM is short-term memory storage unlike storage disk. RAM helps processor a particular program 60 running in background. RAM capacity is being measured by bit, byte, megabyte(MB), GigabByte (GB). Most of Android RAMs ranges from 128MB 28GB. Storage or Phone Storage My phone storage is full but it is not.

Phone Storage Memory

Phone internal Memory Storage is just computer hard disk drive or flash drive. Just like computer hard disk drive some phones have detachable hard disk drive. The Android phone storage unlike RAM is what is used to hold long term memory storage. Most of activities in the phone be it pictures, videos, applications, documents etc no matter the partition is saved in Android phone which is located in the storage.

Just for phone memory expansion you can still add external memory card of any capacity owing to your phone specifications. Lower-end Android phones have 25MB to 1GB phone internal memory but the latest Android phones have up to 250GB size of storage. As technology advances soon phone memory storage can compete computer memory storage. Phone Android memory storage capacity like RAM been measured by bit, byte, megabyte (MB), GigabByte (GB) and TeraByte(TB). 

Sim

SIM card which is called (Subscribers Identification Module). SIM card is integrated chip in form of paper.

The reason you can use SIM card in different sizes after cutting is because as you cut the paper part, the area with chip remains the same. Below is how SIM card function. 

Network

Networking of phones or computers are connecting them together with/without physical connection. When you insert SIM card inside a phone and want to connect other phones, there must be a network before this function is carried out. We have many types of network but here our concern is phone network/service.

The company that are known as service provider, provides SIM card and help maintain the network service. Network started with GSM, GPRS, Edge, 2G, 3G, 4G and now we have 5G. Depending on the phone processor speed, RAM size, storage size as the network differs this is how the speed differs, 5G phones will browse 10 times faster than 2G. 

Connectivity

As technology advances so changes in it also advance. What is the way you can connect two different phones without using physical wire? People will always like to transfer one file from one phone to another. How can you achieve this remotely or wirelessly?

Technology made it easy by introducing different method of inter-connectivity like infrared bluetooth wi-Fi hotspot etc. Is the speed and distance which separate two phones that being connected determines the connectivity method.

Camera

A device attached to phone is an optical instrument used to capture image or record an event. The world where we are today is been controlled by social media. To look perfect on image taking pictures and recording event becomes the order of the day. Camera is being measured by MP megapixel.

But unlike speed of processor and RAM size, the accuracy of phone camera or brightness of pictures/videos don't depend on MP. What it depends generally is the technology and architecture used during the phone production. Some phone products have more better picture than the camera megapixel. 

Display

Screen size and texture, android phones come in different sizes and shapes. The size determines the wideness of LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). Some Android phone have two different phones of same name one will be smaller than the other. The smaller sized is called mini. The size is just the LCD size measured in inches example 3.5” 4.2” 5.0” 5.2” 6.0” 7.0” depending on your choice you can pick the size that is suitable for you. Security is a serious issue when it comes for Android phones.

May be because android OS (Operating System) is an open-market software. Most of the android security has been compromised or hacked. Many securities measured introduced by android includes PIN, Face-recognition, FRP (factory reset protection). Despite all the ways Google developers tried to tackle android security and compete with apple products, android security is easily hacked. 

Sensor.

Digital Compass, Accelerometer, Proximity Sensor, Light Sensor, Barometer, SpO2, Pedometer, Heart Rate Monitor, Intelligent Digital Assistant, Motion Sensing / Gesture Control, Voice Control Gyroscope, Fingerprint Scanner, Iris Scanner, Face, Unlock, and flipping control. 

Charging

To charge a phone you need a specific charger. People prefer to use any charger irrespective of compatibility of the phone. The specification of charger includes 4.2V400mA, 4.2V400mA 4.2V800mA 4.2V1000mA 5.0V1A 5.0V2A. Looking at the specifications, the voltage may be same but current is different. Ensure you use one specified for your phone. Some android phones use wireless charging system.

 Battery

This is the live wire of phone, in less developing countries because of the battery some people prefer phone with long lasting batteries. Battery is a rechargeable device that contains one or more electrochemical cells that are being recharged. There's a speculation where somebody claimed of a battery that can stay 400 years. In advanced countries where standard organization works, the specifications of battery of 400mAh or 20000mAh must meet the standard. We have shown you how to make your phone battery last longer. 

Talk time

Talk Time of an Android phone is being measured as the amount of time it will take the battery to discharge if nobody is using the phone. Before this measurement is being carried out, the phone battery must be fully charged. 

Water Resistance

Water drop here is water resistance that is the ability of the phone to resist water when deep in liquid. The first phone that is water resistance was made by Nokia and that is Nokia 1500. Other water resistance phones are android phones manufactured by Sony and Samsung. Other phone manufacturers also promised water resistance phones. 

Water is one of the bad things that can destroy your phone. Is advisable to keep your phone off water. 

Audio

This sounds somehow as is not inclusive in phone specifications but the processor, RAM and storage for some people is to use for fun. We have seen a phone user who used 7/8GB of phone storage with only music. The way speaker of the phone sounds, how filtered it is and the loudness of the speaker. Most android phones have audio jack 3.5mm for hands-free. You can use your phone and connect to auxiliary audio systems.

Price

The price of an android phone doesn't not depend on the quality or durable but being determines=d by countries of origin or destination. The price of android phone is factor of the country where is being made and where is been sold. Phone manufactured in China and the phone manufactured in US must have a different price though they may be the same for phone. 

Special features

Apart from the specifications being discussed there are other parts that are worth discussing. Some other phones have radio, transmitter, built in applications. Some phones manufacturers incorporates other measures like LG with MacFee login account, Samsung sign up account, Tecno android with HiOs account. There is also Gionee with sign up … account. Some android phones come with HTML5 and HTML4 browsers. Image Editor, Video Editor, Document Viewer, Document Editor: Yes, Video Streaming, Active Noise Cancellation, Wireless Charging, Built-in Mobile Payment, Water Resistant, Dust Resistant.

Android 8.1 Oreo

Android 8.1 is an upgraded version of Android 8.0. The changes it bring to the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL: It unlocks Pixel Visual Core and dedicated to co-processor image processing.
 

Android 8.1 in Visual Core improves the speed and power efficiency of shooting in HDR+ mode. This change is not noticeable but with time. It has automatic dark and light theme
 

Unlike 8.0 Android Oreo launched, 8.1 has a dark theme which has been a big goal for android developers. Although this particular feature doesn't turn the whole android dark but the feature let you enjoy dark theme.
Some other feature that is inclusive in android 8.0 is that time and alarm is the uppermost indicator. The new feature may not be noticeable but it show improvement in and android developing stage. Most of the features you see in android is actually designed to fit Google android owned phone like Pixel XL.

The redesign of cheeseburger emoji. After a days-long disagreement, Google has admitted to the world that its cheeseburger emoji is wrong. In previous versions of Android, the cheese rested on the bottom in an affront to hamburger lovers everywhere. In Android 8.1, order has been restored, and there is a little twerk on the emoji.

Redesigned power menu. in Android 8.1 the power menu is much less obtrusive than it was in Android 8.0. When you press the power button to shut down or restart your device in Android 8.1, the buttons options will no longer take over your entire screen. The only thing you will see is a small window will appear on the right side of the screen.

Android 9.0 Pie Features

Indoor navigation with Wi-Fi RTT
Android P now supports IEEE 802.11mc WiFi protocol which is also known as Wi-Fi Round-Trip-Time (RTT). It’s one of the best features that Android fans are waiting for. The aboe feature helps indoor navigation. It means you can now find your way across short distances within malls and large buildings.

Gesture Navigation
Google has redesigned the way you navigate the OS by introducing Gesture Navigation in Android P similar to iPhone X.

Instead of three buttons set on the home screen, there is an option to use a new single home button that allows you to swipe up to view recent apps along with a UI that suggests apps you might use. Sliding too far left and right across the device would showcase recent apps and lets you quickly switch between them.


Android 9.0 Pie incoperate a pie chart indicating the time spent in each app per day and also in hour by hour. basis total number of hours spent on the phone each day number of times you unlocked your phone, total number of notifications you have received.

Android 9.0 you can time yourself:- On approaching the time limit, a notification pops out warning you have reached your time limit and the app ‘pauses.’ So with Android P, you can manage your time better and improve your productivity.

In android 9.0 you Wind Down which will help you curb this habit by switching on Night Light and turning on the Do Not Disturb mode at your chosen bedtime.

Just select the time at which you would like to go to bed, and Android P will fade the screen to grayscale to help you remember to sleep at the selected time.

App Actions is another great feature in Android P that helps you better navigate through the day by giving smart suggestions based on your habits. It can automatically anticipate your next action based on the current action.

For instance, if you connect your headphones to your smartphone, App Actions will ask if you’d like to continue listening to your favorite playlist on Spotify, thus allowing you to skip several steps in the process.

Such actions show up throughout the OS such as Smart Text Selection, the Play Store, Launcher, the Google Search app and the Assistant.

Slices are fully functional UIs that can be embedded externally in other applications to provide a variety of options to the user. This feature, just like tons of other segments in Android, performs a deep analysis of your inputs and contexts to show you the best parts of the apps you use most of the time. It can surely send a chill down your spine.

Press power menu is the “Enter Lockdown” button. It’s one of the top features of Android P that further boosts the security of your phone.

Once enabled, it disables fingerprint unlocking option which can be quite useful in case any assailant force you or trick you into unlocking your phone.

Android P will now support Zoom lens feature. Basically, when you long press a phrase, it will automatically magnify at the pointer. Not to mention, this will help you read small text and selecting words precisely.

Messaging apps have received several improvements to enhance the overall experience. A notable feature is a provision for developers to make images viewable in the notification shade for all incoming messages.

It also has Smart Reply which permits you to reply quickly to messages through the notification shade and use suggested responses that are created by analysis of the incoming messages.

Another handy Android 9.0 feature is the addition of the screenshot button to the power menu. Thanks to this feature, you no longer have to struggle with the power + volume down buttons.

The addition of new contextually aware button makes auto-rotation a whole lot easier and is one of the incredibly handy Android features I have seen.

An auto-rotate button appears in the navigation bar when your phone is rotated to an orientation it’s not currently locked to.

Suppose your device is locked to portrait mode and you try to rotate it to landscape, a button appears.

Tapping this button will lock your phone to landscape until you are using that app or you rotate the phone back to portrait mode and touch the button again.

Google automatically applied a dark or light theme based on the wallpaper’s color tone. But Android P features a notable option to manually change from different themes.

Under the display advanced settings, you can select whichever theme you prefer. Again, the theme settings will only apply to the app drawer and the notification shade.

With the increase of privacy concerns like Facebook tracking your activities, it’s a relief to know that Android has revamped its privacy factor in the newest version.

As of now, once you allow an app to access your camera and mic, it can use them whenever they want. But Android P will block apps running in the background from accessing camera and microphones.

In case an app tries to use your camera without you knowing, it will be shut down and receive system errors whereas apps that attempt to record audio will capture blank sound until you open the app.

Talking about further restrictions on the background apps, sensors like gyroscopes and accelerometers that use continuous reporting mode don’t receive events. Same applies to on-change and one-shot reporting sensors like step counter, proximity, and heart rate sensor, significant motion, etc.

Android Pie also brings along restricted access to call logs for better visibility and control to apps that need information like phone number identification and phone call record access. If an app needs call log access, it must explicitly request these permissions. Similar restrictions have been applied to phone numbers, WiFi location, connection information, etc.

Internet browsing works on two protocols: HTTP and HTTPS, with a major difference being the encryption feature of the latter.

But all apps do not use the secure protocol for communication which can expose you to potential dangers.
