4G LTE CATEGORIES
4G categories refers to the different capabilities of modems used on smartphones.
MOBILE NETWORK GENERATIONS
It has been quite a journey, from the old (and painfully slow) analog radio networks to super fast 5G.
Understanding the different mobile network generations will show how far technology has come.
USB OTG AND USB HUBS
USB OTG and USB Hubs are technologies that help to provide more functionality to your existing USB port.
USB VERSIONS AND SPEED STANDARDS
The first USB version of USB is the USB 1.0. It was released in 1996 and it is ancient by modern standards. It is very slow, with data transmission speeds of just 1.5 Mbps.
UNIVERSAL SERIAL BUS (USB) ON SMARTPHONES
USB (or Universal Serial Bus) is an industry standard that establishes the specifications for cables and connectors as well as the protocols for connection, communication and power supply interfacing between computers, smartphones and other peripherals.
Bluetooth WiFi and Infrared technology

ISA VS CLOCK SPEED
Clock speed is only good for comparing the performance of two SoCs in the same family e.g SD665 vs SD660, Helio P60 vs P65, SD865 vs SD865+ etc. The ISA on the other hand tells the extent of a SoC’s abilities and capabilities.
Smartphone storage (RAM and Flash Storage)
One of the key specs of a phone is its storage capacity. It’s an area […]
