Media
From mobile phones, you
can now download and listen
to music directly from your
phone. you can also plug it in
to docking stations and
speaker sets which allow you
to listen to it without using
the inbuilt speaker or
headphones.
Camera Functions
Cameras on phones now are high quality and can be used
for video calls, documention standard personal videos and
photos and can be intigrated into apps on the phone such as
'snapchat' although im not entierly sure what it is.
Apps
Apps are now huge on modern smart phones. you can download apps from
places like the 'app store' on apple products or 'google play' on android
phones. they are the mobile equivelant of computer programs and can do
many different things for different needs. for example, there is a huge market
base for games and entertainment such as youtube where you can watch and
upload videos using the app and not the internet. there are also productivity
and health apps and apps for business.
Security
if the phone is left in a visible place, it is likley to be stoled by someone as
they are quite expensive nowadays unless you get the rubish brick ones
which are allright if your over 50. However, another security measure that
most people have on their phones is a pin code or password to prevent
people from getting into your phone if they dont know the lock code. you can
also lock the sim card or record the unique IMEI number which can be used
to lock the phone remotly if its stolen or lost. Restricting Bluetooth usage can
be used to stop 'bluejacking' where people near by can send messages
anonamously
