Description
A key part of any mobile
phone specification is its
operating frequency bands. The
supported frequency bands
determine whether a certain
handset is compatible with a
certain network carrier.
The size of the phone in
format (H x L x W) and the
volume of the phone where
available. If the phone has a
flip, it is measured with the
flip closed.
Lists the weight of the phone
in grams.
Standardized operating
system platforms make it
possible to provide a
consistent user interface (and
experience) across devices
from different hardware
manufacturers. Yet, Android
Smartphone manufacturers
like to customize the user
experience so each offers a
slightly modified version of
the stock Android UI.
They are embedded as part of
the complete device including
hardware and mechanical

parts.
