phone divices

My daughter insists that her phone be Wifi capable? What does this mean? Why does she need it?”Wifi capable means that you would be able to use internet on the phone if there is a wifi internet connection wherever you are. You sometimes need to provide a password for the internet connection and in some cases you don't. For example, McDonald's Wifi is free and anyone with wifi on their phone can use it. Or, if you have wifi at home, you can connect to the password for your router. The daughter would clearly want this to use internet networks such as facebook on her phone.
2.       The mother says “She wants the camera in the phone to be at least 5 Meg thingys, what does this mean? Does she need it?”Megapixels: A unit of graphic resolution equivalent to 220 or (strictly) 1,048,576 pixels. She does not NEED this but if she takes alot of photos on her mobile phone and wants the quality to be good, then this is a suitable choice for her phone.
3.       “My daughter wants a phone with a capacitive touch screen. They seem more expensive, what advantages do they offer over other types of touch screens?”Capacitive touchscreen displays rely on the electrical properties of the human body to detect when and where on a display the user touching. Because of this, capacitive displays can be controlled with very light touches of a finger and generally cannot be used with a mechanical stylus or a gloved hand. This is useful if the daughter wanted a easy touchscreen phone which is convenient which light swipes or touches of the screen.
5. “Are all phone as smart as one another? What is the smartest phone at the moment and why?”No, not all phones are as smart as one another.
6.       “She wants to take lots of video and photos. How do I know which phone can store the most videos and photos?”It depends on which phone you decide to buy because on some of them such as the iphone, the amount of storage can not be changed and you cannot add in a ST card which will expand your storgae. On other phones, you can put in a card and then your phone will have more memory to store photos and videos.
7.       “She says she wants to be able to buys apps. What are apps? What sort of useful apps cold she access? What types of phones can buy and use apps?”Apps are applications that you can either purchase or get for free from the app store on phones such as the Iphone and Samsung Galaxy. She can purchase useful apps such as 'facebook' and 'Find My Iphone.' It is easier for you to access many different types of things on your phone if you can purchase or get free applications on it.
