Based on the features and specifications of mobile phones, they can be classified into three types viz. symbian phones, smart phones and branded/designer phones.
Symbian phones are those which have been available in market since long and have been slowly evolving to meet the modern day requirements. The symbian platform is a feature of all NOKIA phones to date. The manufacturers of these phones mostly use the symbian platform that lays emphasis on enhancing talking time, compatibility with various band frequencies and some other complimentary features like cameras, music players etc. The symbian phones, in general, are very practical for daily use. They are classified to:
2G phones – These phones are called Second generation phones and are rarely found in modern markets as they are outdated. With the development of more complex operating frequencies, these phones are not suitable for use now, though they have their market in the under-developed countries where people cannot afford to pay a higher price. They mainly have primary features like voice calls and text messaging. Some of them may have cameras, radio and music player also, 3G phones – These phones are also known as Third generation phones and are well spread in modern markets. The main feature is their compatibility with 3G networks which provides the user a clearer voice with least interruptions, faster connectivity to the internet and enables video calls. Many features have been improved like cameras with higher definition, multimedia messaging, office applications etc. The price range of these phones is moderate but not very expensive.

Smart phones are also called Fourth generation phones that have top class features. These are not mere phones but are pocket PCs. They can handle almost all the applications that can be done through PCs like superfast internet browsing including emails, instant messaging, multimedia sharing and much more. This performance can be explained through their processors that similar to those in PCs like windows, MAC and android. These processors support multitasks very efficiently and are user friendly. Besides communication, they are designed to provide good recreation and entertainment to the users through applications like instant messaging, YouTube, face book, twitter and much more. They are very ideal for business people and also to the youths. In many developed countries, they have ruined the market of symbian phones which has led the symbian manufacturers to adopt new features to help them survive in the market. The main disadvantage is their comparitively high price and also their very quick evolution that exceeds our own pace to catch up with the latest technology.
Branded or Designer phones is the latest trend in the mobile phones market. This refers to the phones manufactured by well-reputed designers like Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Vertu, Louis Vuitton and so on. These phones run on not very advanced platforms designed by some manufacturers in collaboration with these designers. The main feature of these phones is their sleek n lavish design that may include jewels like gold, diamond, sapphire and much more. The technical features are very limited like cameras, music players, text messaging, MMS etc. These phones are ideal to the sophisticated and elegant aristocrats of the society because of their brand. The major disadvantage of these phones is their very high price that may be equivalent to the price of a car depending on the material used in manufacturing it and also the name of the designer it holds.
Whether symbian, smart or designer, mobile phones are an inevitable component of a modern society in developed, developing and under-developed countries. Because of these gadgets, the world is moving towards an era where communication using these gadgets would be available for all people at a negligible cost. Mobile phones have slowly evolved to mobile PCs and are slowly making a tremendous change in peoples attitude towards this small device. Coming Days shall reveal whether this evolution can be stopped or we must adapt to its aspects.
