Chipset - definition

GLOSSARY

Mobile phones run on so-called embedded chipsets, which are designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions, often with real-time computing constraints. They are embedded as part of the complete device including hardware and mechanical parts.

The ever popular smartphones are equipped with more advanced embedded chipsets that can do many different tasks depending on their programming.

Thus their CPU (Central Processing Unit) performance is vital for the daily user experience and people tend to use the clock rate of the main CPU that's in the heart of the chipset to compare the performance of competing end products.

As we already pointed out, the clock rate of a processor is only useful for providing performance comparisons between computer chips in the same processor family and generation.

Also, as mobile gaming is increasingly gaining popularity, users have become more aware of the various types of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) chips that come as part of the mobile chipsets and sometimes even consider their performance when making buying decisions.

Rechargeable Battery Types - definition

By Robert
  GLOSSARY Cellphones of the past came equipped with rechargeable nickel-based batteries with (Ni-Cd and NiMH). In the past few years, however, most rechargeable batteries used in phones are Lithium-based. They are either Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) and Lithium Polymer (Li-Po). The fundamental difference between a polymer lithium-ion battery and a liquid lithium-ion battery is that the electrolytes used in the two are different. Lithium-ion batteries have high energy density, so they hold more charge per volume but lose charge with aging even when not used. Li-Polymer has a lower energy density battery, but they are thinner, lighter, safer, and retain charge better as their age. Lithium polymer batteries are more advanced and significantly more expensive than Lithium-ion to manufacture so neither is definitively better than the other. Manufactures usually decide which type of battery is better suited for the the particular device design.

GLOSSARY A term that refers to the number of pixels on a display or in a camera sensor (specifically in a digital image). A higher resolution means more pixels and more pixels provide the ability to display more visual information (resulting in greater clarity and more detail). Standard Display Resolution Sizes The industry standard way of representing screen resolution is publishing the number of pixels that form the two sides of the display rectangle. A number of standards currently exist when it comes to display resolutions: Name(s) Resolution in pixels High Definition (HD) 1280 x 720 Full HD, FHD 1920 x 1080 2K, Quad HD, QHD 2560 x 1440 4K, Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 Standard display sizes compared When launched in 2007, the original iPhone came with a screen resolution of 320 pixels x 480 pixels. A range of smartphone screen resolutions compared Resolution does not refer to the physical size of the display, camera sensor or image. For example, two dis...
