GLOSSARY

Bluetooth is a wireless protocol for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks.

There are two important parameters of Bluetooth devices - class and supported profiles.

"Class" signifies the distance at which a Bluetooth connection is possible. Most mobile devices are Class 2, which means they have a range of up to 10 m. Class 1 devices are rare and have a range of up to 100 feet.

A "profile" is a type of Bluetooth connection. The most common are the Headset (HSP) and Handsfree (HFP) profiles that enable the device to connect to a wireless headset or handsfree.

Some other profiles are OBEX (OBject EXchange) which allows transfer of files, contacts and events; A2DP, which adds support for streaming of stereo sound and AVRC, which allows remote control of playback.

 Smartphones aren’t perfect, and often we do encounter problems on our devices that we want to fix in the simplest way possible. There is, we can call it, a scale of problems that require different actions to be fixed. On the lower end we have a simple soft-reset, that you can view as a re-boot that fixes most of the issues, but doesn’t delete data, while on the other side we have the hard reset or the final solution that erases data and returns the device to factory settings. To do a soft-reset, that is also the best way to un-freeze a device, hold the Power + Volume Up button until the phone vibrates or the Android logo appears. This method isn’t exclusive to Nokia devices running Android Oreo, but can virtually be applied to any (Android) phone, though the button combination could be different. When all hope is lost, something is not working right and the only option is hard reset – the first thing that would be smart to do is to back up all the important data you have on your d...

Construction - definition

GLOSSARY Describes the construction materials, methods and finishes used by the manufacturer when building a phone. As with the fashion world, every new season (or phone launch) introduces new or elaborately names colors. Kinda Blue anyone? With the color being influenced in its final appearance by those materials chosen. Each material used has unique properties that are both advantageous and complimentary to the device but often come with limitations. For example, a glass body allows radio waves to pass through and better facilitates wireless charging, but unless utilized properly, could make the phone more fragile. Recent construction trends include the use of aluminium, glass and even ceramics. In order to make the display as resilient as possible, many manufactures use Corning Gorilla Glass. A devices ability to withstand dust and moisture is identified via a IP Rating.
