Originally, the term of Smartphone was created to indicate a telephone incorporating functions of pocket computer. Then we added it multimedia features, capacitive touch-sensitive screen, the ability of installing applications and even more. Today, what we can make with a Smartphone is limited only by our imagination.

To use the hardware and the sensors in a unusual way

In spite of his size, we find in a Smartphone Android one very sensors' large number which allow you to execute diverse functions: of the camera in the accelerometer, via the gyroscope, the magnetometer, the barometer, the luminosity, the thermometer, hygrometer, pedometer, measures of heart rate, scanner of fingerprints ...

These sensors are integrated into applications of navigation or health as the S-Health application, but they can be also used individually in unusual purposes. So, by means of the magnetometer you can transform your mobile phone into metal detector if you want to play the treasure hunting for example.

Let us cross the other well known sensors that is for example the thermometer to concentrate us on the camera: even if it is a classic component of the "normal" telephones, he can take an unexpected form in particular thanks to his big capacity of calculation and because he can harmonize to other sensors.

So, among the most surprising features, your camera is capable of telling you if your remote control still works or if it is empty. It is enough to clock the camera towards her and by pressing a button: if it is in charge, you will see on the screen the light of the infrared, invisible to the naked eye.

Of course you can also use your camera to obtain more practical results. We can quote for example Vivino who allows you to obtain information on a wine by clocking the camera at the label, or the applications dedicated to the resolution of equations such as Photomath. By means of the Artificial intelligence, it is even possible to use it to make translations.

Participate in the fight against the cancer by sleeping

Thanks to a simple application, we can actively contribute to the scientific research against certain diseases as the cancer and the Alzheimer's disease. An application takes advantage of the fact that of your Smartphone is not used (for example during your sleep) to download a small package of data (less than 1 MB), to do its calculations and to send them back.

Read 1250 words in one minute

You read correctly! With your Android device, you can read a novel of 1000 pages in only 10 hours. On average the normal rhythm of reading is about 220 words per minute, but thanks to Speed reading you go very quickly (in a few minutes or at the most some small hours of training) to develop a speed of astounding reading.

Take advantage of an optimal WIFI everywhere in your house

Almost everyone has a Wi-Fi connection at home with it internet provider but it is not still so good everywhere. The only place where the signal is for maximal sound is where the router is connected: if you go away from it, the signal becomes more and lower and it can prevent you from benefiting from a good connection, especially if you are separated from the router by several walls.
