A-GPS downloads data from the mobile network about the satellites precise orbit and thus accelerates the localisation process after the GPS is turned on.
GPS is an American positioning system that can determine your position on or above the ground within the accuracy of a few meters. It can also be used to measure distance and time.
LTE (Long Term Evolution) marks the next generation of mobile data networks. This is an intermediate step between 3G and 4G. Although manufacturers and operators sometimes mistakenly refer to it as 4G, it is not a full 4G network. That's for LTE Advanced. The maximum theoretical data transfer rate is up to 175Mbps for download and up to 57.6Mbps for sending data in one frequency band.
In regards to technology-electronics, there are several different displays commonly found: TFT, IPS, and AMOLED.
TFT (Thin Film Transistor)
This is commonly found in cheap mobile phones. An advantage is its low production cost. Disadvantages include the narrow viewing angles, low-quality contrast and long response time.
IPS (In-Plane Switching)
This is also sometimes referred to as Super-TFT. It's used on both mid and high-end smartphones. It has much less flaws when compared to older TFT displays. IPS provides accurate colour reproduction and wide viewing angles.
AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode)
This is currently the most advanced display on the market. With declining production costs, it can now be found on ma
An ambient light sensor that monitors the ambient light levels and dynamically adjusts the display backlight intensity. A practical and handy feature, it is part of most modern phones. It turns the display brightness to the maximum in bright sunlight and dims the backlight in the dark. This makes the phone’s display perfectly readable in all lighting conditions without straining your eyes.
VoLTE (Voice over LTE) is an LTE technology that enables voice service over LTE. The standard must be supported by both your phone operator and the phone itself in order to work. Its advantages are high call quality and faster network connection.
A pair of GSM modules allows you to operate two active SIM cards in one phone simultaneously. The primary slot usually supports voice and data services, while the secondary slot supports only voice services. You'll find more information in the user manual provided by the manufacturer.
AMOLED, or Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode, belongs to the OLED family of display technologies. This is the most advanced display technology on the market. Compared with competing technologies, it boasts faster response times, lower energy consumption, and sharper colours. You can also enjoy perfect black colour reproduction, which results in better readability in direct sunlight. AMOLED displays also offer wide viewing angles, which in the case of IPS displays reach almost 180 degrees. However, the disadvantage of AMOLED technology is its higher price and shorter lifespan.
A method of rendering LCD-display images. In this case, the image is formed by a thin film of transistors. A thin part of the display consists of small transistors that control individual picture points, or pixels. Unlike previous technologies, it has brought high image quality, high contrast, lower power consumption and smaller size. Today, the biggest advantage of TFT displays is the price. Compared with premium OLEDs, they also have a significantly longer life.
