Over the years smart phones are both praised and disparaged. What make smart phones so special, are their perfect usability and elegant looks. According to pcmag encyclopedia, a smart phone is;

Past recollections tell us that earlier we had heavy-weight mobile phones with narrow and murky display saddled with protruding antenna. Likewise our computers were less intelligent and more costly. During course of time, both machines were highly improvised and eventually we managed to have mobiles with greater reliability and elegance and computers with more power and affordability. But even by then, mobiles and computer were separate entities. We had to go upstairs to make a call to our friend and come down stairs to watch the movie. As soon as potentials of mobile technology were realized, richest features of computers were started being introduced in mobiles. Once mobile phones got enough lineaments of computers, they became surrogates of computers. So, this is how we end up with smart phones.
